Chernobyl and Nuclear Power in the USSR provided the first detailed account of the Soviet nuclear power industry and of the nature, impact and consequences of the Chernobyl (Chornobyl) disaster of 28 April 1986. Marples places the Chornobyl accident within the context of Soviet nuclear development. He includes a Chornobyl diary, that covers Soviet reporting during the first two weeks after the accident; Soviet energy policy; Eastern European and Soviet nuclear development in the 1980s; safety issues; and an account of the immediate aftermath of the disaster and the clean-up operation. Co-published with the Macmillan Press, London.

The Social Impact of the Chernobyl Disaster

This book examines the impact of Chernobyl on people's lives in the Soviet Union and the West, the environmental consequences, the portrayal of the event in the Soviet media, the reconstruction of life in the disaster zone (including the new city built for Chernobyl workers) and changes in the nuclear industry and in attitudes to nuclear power. Information about the aftermath of the accident is provided rather than about the events leading up to it as in David Marple's "Chernobyl and Nuclear Power in the USSR" (Macmillan, 1987). Victor Snell's introduction provides a technical account of how the disaster occurred. As a media event, coverage by Soviet reporters such as Kondrashov, Pralnikov, Bladamir Gubarev and Ukrainian writers such as Yurii Shcherbak and Oles Honchar have enabled a more accurate picture of what happened after Chernobyl. The author sees the only positive outcome of the event to be to stress safety in nuclear power industry and examines whether it has changed as a result of the disaster.

This study examines one of the key events in history, the Russian Revolution. Since the late Gorbachev period, a wealth of new material has become available to historians that has triggered intense scholarly debate on the nature of revolution. This timely new book takes account of the new scholarship, including - for example - the role of Lenin. It is argued that the intial flexibility of Lenin and the Bolshevik party allowed them to take power, but that the conduct of both changed considerably once they were obliged to take steps to maintain their authority. This book charts the Febuary Revolution, the October Revolution, the Civil War and the main individuals involved, giving a remarkable degree of clarity to the tumultuous events in Russia whose consequences the world lived with for the rest of the twentieth century.
