I have been a lurker for a considerable amount of time but have finally gotten around to making an account.
By trade I am a software engineer, primarily interested in PL, type systems, and formal verification.
I am currently attempting to strengthen my historical knowledge of pre-facist regimes with a focus on 1920s/30s Germany & Italy. I would greatly appreciate either specific book recommendations or reading lists for this topic - while I approach this topic from a distinctly “not a facist” viewpoint, I am interested in books from both sides to attempt to build as authentic an understanding of the period as possible.
I also would be interested in reading on post-soviet to modern-day Russia. I think many, including myself, would not characterise it as a facist regime, but I have a suspicion it is the most useful contemporary comparison point. I am very open and interested in anyone disagreeing with this
