Great historians of the Soviet Union and their books to read if you want to understand the early Soviet history

These writers are great historians and wonderful authors to read. There are many great Soviet historians and authors, but these are my favorites; except for the first two, they are listed in no particular order. I know the first several authors are not traditional.
