The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Navy in the Baltic 1921-1941: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Navy in the Baltic 1921-1941" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book, based on extensive work in Russian archives, investigates how strategy, organisational rivalry and cultural factors came to shape naval developments in the Soviet Union, up to the invasion of 1941. Focussing on the Baltic Fleet, the author shows how the perceived balance of power in northern Europe came to have a major influence on Soviet naval policy during the 1920s and 1930s. The operational environment of a narrow inland-sea like the Baltic would have required a joint approach to military planning, but the Soviet navys weak position among the armed services made such an approach hard to attain. The Soviet regime also struggled against the cultural heritage of the tsarist navy and the book describes how this was overcome. In a special Appendix dedicated to the purges of 1937-38, surviving party records from the Baltic Fleet Intelligence Section are used to illustrate the mechanisms of the Great Terror at local level.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SOVIET NAVY IN THE BALTIC, 19211941

This book, based on extensive work in Russian archives, investigates how strategy, organizational rivalry and cultural factors came to shape naval developments in the Soviet Union, up to the invasion of 1941.
Focusing on the Baltic Fleet, the author shows how the perceived balance of power in northern Europe came to have a major influence on Soviet naval policy during the 1920s and 1930s. The operational environment of a narrow inland-sea like the Baltic would have required a joint approach to military planning, but the Soviet navys weak position among the armed services made such an approach hard to attain. The Soviet regime also struggled against the cultural heritage of the tsarist navy and the book describes how this struggle was overcome. In a special Appendix dedicated to the purges of 193738, surviving party records from the Baltic Fleet intelligence section are used to illustrate the mechanisms of the Great Terror at a local level.
