A few months ago I was reading /k/, when I saw the following books mentionated:
>La Russie en 1839, by Marquis de Custine
>Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, bt Peter Pomerantsev
The guy from /k/ was talking about how little has Russia changed. Then, I remembered the following book and wondered if, with all the recent events, was it finally available in pdf (it was):
>One Soldier's War in Chechnya, by Arkady Babchenko
After reading those books about Russia, before and after communism, I read the following books about Russia during communism:
>Collapse: The Fall of the Soviet Union, by Vladislav M. Zubok
>A Failed Empire: The Soviet Union in the Cold War from Stalin to Gorbachev, by Vladislav M. Zubok
Then, I remebered I also had the following book in my computer:
>Inside the Soviet Army, Viktor Suvorov
Then, I wanted a little more insight about the Soviet army, so I read:
>Afgantsy: The Russians in Afghanistan, 1979-89, Rodric Braithwaite
And I discovered the books of this guy, Dmitri Volkogonov, who I wholeheartedly reccommend:
>Autopsy for an Empire: The Seven Leaders Who Built the Soviet Regime, by Dmitri Volkogonov
>Lenin: A New Biography, by Dmitri Volkogonov
>Stalin: Triumph and Tragedy, by Dmitri Volkogonov

The first few books are an interesting preamble, great to contextualize Russia. Or, if you want to jump straight into commie business, you can go directly to Vladislav M. Zubok and Dmitri Volkogonov. Still, Viktor Suvorov brings some interest insights, as the interaction between Army, Party and KGB
