Rusija, Kina i Zapad: suvremena kronika događaja 1953.–1966.

Deutscher, known for his biographies of Trotsky and Stalin, analyzes the processes of de-Stalinization, Khrushchev's reforms, the ideological rift between Moscow and Beijing, and the broader geopolitical changes that shaped the Cold War.

The book is structured as a chronological series of essays that reflect the author's ability to connect internal political dynamics with international relations. Deutscher examines in detail how internal changes in the Soviet Union influenced its foreign policy, and how relations with China developed in the context of ideological and strategic differences.

He pays particular attention to China's "Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" and its impact on the global communist movement, as well as on relations with Moscow. Deutscher also analyzes the reactions of Western countries to these changes, emphasizing how Western powers tried to exploit the rift between the two communist superpowers for their own interests.

The work is significant because it provides an in-depth analysis of the complex relationships between the three great powers during the crucial period of the Cold War, offering the reader an understanding of how ideology, politics, and strategy intertwined in shaping world events.
