One of the most successful and lethal dictators of the twentieth century, Stalin transformed the Soviet Union into a modern industrial state. While he demonstrated Russia’s huge potential if harnessed correctly, Stalin’s brand of coercive socialism sent millions to their deaths in the process. Updated to incorporate the most recent research the new edition in the Seminar Studies in History Series provides an accessible and important introduction to the Stalin phenomenon. Written by Martin McCauley, a leading authority on Russia and Eastern Europe, this new third edition includes a

How does a society emerge from Stalinism? This is the question of the day in Eastern Europe. In this final volume of his trilogy on Stalinism, Campeanu examines the main pillars of the Stalinist system - the vacuum of ownership and the regulation of all social and economic activity by a central power endowed with infallibility. Only if both of these conditions are eliminated, Campeanu argues, can Stalinism finally be overcome. Attempts only to reform, to modify, to ameliorate, to eliminate "excesses" will ensure that society stays in a perpetual dead-end. How does perestroika measure up agains

Stalinism is a controversial new addition to the current debates related to the history of the Stalinist period of the Soviet Union. Sheila Fitzpatrick has collected together not only the classics of the revisionist period but also new work by young Russian, American and European scholars, in an attempt to reassess this contentious and deeply politicized subject. The articles are contextualized by a thorough introduction to the totalitarian/revisionist arguments. Avoiding an exclusively political focus, the book draws together work on class, identity, gender, work and agency.

This defense of Sartre shows his increasing involvement in the politics of the Left. Though he always distrusted Stalinism, he was sometimes driven to ally himself with it because of the force of its argument.
