    What's a good recent work on the Cold War from the Russian side of things (either from a historian of Russia or a Russian historian).

        Alexey Arbatov is good on the Russian perspective on nuclear weapons. But he's written papers and articles, not a book. Recent article in IISS's "Survival."

        He co-authored some books with Dvorkin, not sure about any of them on the Cold War specifically though.

        Not a work or historical scholarship but in all seriousness ESPN’s documentary account of the 1980 USSR men’s ice hockey team, and the reaction in the Soviet Union, is very very good http://www.espn.com/30for30/film/_/page/ofmiraclesandmen …

        William Taubman’s bio of Khrushchev, and his new one on Gorbachev, are very insightful
