本书的叙述从戈尔巴乔夫掌权始至苏联解体终，对这段历史时期的重大事件和重要人物进行了浓墨淡彩的描写，其主旨在于让人明了，当苏联的政治体系将一个尚未做好掌舵准备的人推到风口浪尖时，苏联这艘被政治及经济风浪冲击得千疮百孔的大船最终触礁便是不可避免的了。2016年是苏联解体25周年，本书对我们更真实地了解那段历史，更有效地汲取苏联解体教训，具有极大的借鉴作用和启发意义。

The narrative of this book, from the time Gorbachev took power to the end of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, provides a rich and light depiction of major events and important figures during this historical period. Its main purpose is to make it clear that when the political system of the Soviet Union pushed a person who was not yet ready to take the helm to the top of the wind and waves, it was inevitable that the Soviet Union, a ship riddled with political and economic storms, would eventually hit the rocks. 2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the disintegration of the Soviet Union. This book provides us with a more authentic understanding of that period of history and effectively draws lessons from the disintegration of the Soviet Union, which has great reference and inspiration significance.
