Download or read book Removing the Stalin Stain written by William Briggs and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Marxism emerge from the long shadow cast by Stalinism, and challenge capitalism? There is undoubtedly a growing interest in Marxism and socialism. Opinion polls show a majority that regard socialism as a real option. It is against this reality, and as a contribution to growing debates, that this book has been written. Marxism, as an ideological force and instituted to lead the charge against capitalism, has been poorly served in the past century. Many of its core messages have been obscured. William Briggs gives a rousing defence of Marxism, calling for a return of the working class to the centre of potential struggle. Briggs seeks to heal the damage done to Marxism, in the name of Marxism, over generations past.

Book excerpt: In this book, originally published in English in 1953, the author, recognized as one of the best-informed experts on Eastern European politics, reconstructed during the course of a decade's work, the real history of Stalin, from his youth in Georgia to the last year of his life. Utilizing an enormous mass of largely unpublsihed documents he reconstructed a living Stalin with all his qualities and faults, crimes and achievements.

Book excerpt: First published in 1940, Stalin’s Russia is a close study of the development of the Stalinist regime and the flaws in socialist doctrine that made it possible. The book examines the contrasts between the "free and equal" society heralded by the Marxist-Leninist programme and the totalitarian state that emerged in its place. It makes use of a wealth of material to cast light on the inner workings of Stalin’s regime. It explores the significance of the Stalin-Hitler pact, and argues that the word "socialism" itself became a liability to any genuine movement of liberation as a result.

Book excerpt: Moscow Police Investigator Illya Podipenko is back! This time, his adventure begins not in Moscow but in New York City. He is drowsily lounging on a bench in New York's Central Park, unaware that his world is about to be turned upside down, when a beautiful and irrepressible young girl named Katya, a student in one of his lectures, slides next to him on the park bench and whispers in his ear that she is in great danger and that she needs Illya's help because her grandfather has been murdered and the killers are now after her. Thus, begins a perilous and intimate adventure in the US and Russia for the Moscow investigator and the young American woman as, together, they hurry to unravel perplexing clues, outrun Georgian underworld thugs, and uncover shocking historic truths about Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin's death and billions in gold and jewels he had secretly hidden away. Even current Russian president, Vladimir Putin, gets involved in the chase. By solving clues and puzzles left behind by Illya's father, a famous Red Army marshal, Illya and Katya must discover where the Stalin treasure is hidden before the Georgian mobsters beat them to the punch. Along the way, Illya and Katya uncover staggering revelations about each of their families that changed the course of history.

Book Synopsis Quest for Status by : Deborah Welch Larson
Download or read book Quest for Status written by Deborah Welch Larson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at how the desire to improve international status affects Russia's and China's foreign policies Deborah Welch Larson and Alexei Shevchenko argue that the desire for world status plays a key role in shaping the foreign policies of China and Russia. Applying social identity theory—the idea that individuals derive part of their identity from larger communities—to nations, they contend that China and Russia have used various modes of emulation, competition, and creativity to gain recognition from other countries and thus validate their respective identities. To make this argument, they analyze numerous cases, including Catherine the Great’s attempts to westernize Russia, China’s identity crises in the nineteenth century, and both countries’ responses to the end of the Cold War. The authors employ a multifaceted method of measuring status, factoring in influence and inclusion in multinational organizations, military clout, and cultural sway, among other considerations. Combined with historical precedent, this socio-psychological approach helps explain current trends in Russian and Chinese foreign policy.
Download or read book Stalin written by Stephen Kotkin and published by Penguin Books. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 975 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his biography of Stalin, Kotkin rejects the inherited wisdom about Stalin's psychological makeup, showing us instead how Stalin's near paranoia was fundamentally political and closely tracks the Bolshevik revolution's structural paranoia, the predicament of a Communist regime in an overwhelmingly capitalist world, surrounded and penetrated by enemies. At the same time, Kotkin posits the impossibility of understanding Stalin's momentous decisions outside of the context of the history of imperial Russia.
Book Synopsis Stalin - The Enduring Legacy by : Kerry Bolton
Download or read book Stalin - The Enduring Legacy written by Kerry Bolton and published by Black House Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stalin: The Enduring Legacy considers the 'Man of Steel' in a manner that will outrage dogmatists of both Left and Right. Stalinist Russia is reassessed as a state that transcended Marxism, and proceeded on a nationalist and imperial path rather than as the citadel of 'world revolution'. Stalin reversed many early Bolshevik policies re-instituting, for example, the traditional family. He abolished the Communist International, championed 'realism' in the arts and rejected post-1945 US plans for a 'new world order'. Despite so-called 'de-Stalinization' after his death, the Soviet bloc continued to oppose globalism, as does Putin's Russia. Stalin: The Enduring Legacy, examines the anti-Marxist character of Stalinism, the legitimacy of the Moscow Trials against the 'Old Bolsheviks', the origins of the Cold War, the development of Trotskyism as a tool of US foreign policy, the question of Stalin's murder, and the relevance of Russia to the future of world power politics. 'Dr. Bolton's book Stalin: The Enduring Legacy is a major contribution to the proper understanding of Russian, as well as American, politics and society in the twentieth century. It brushes aside the anti-Stalinist biases of the Trotskyist American chroniclers of this historical period to reveal the unquestionable integrity of Stalin as a nationalist leader. At the same time, it highlights the vital differences between the Russian national character rooted in the soil and history of Russia, and its opposite, the rootless Jewish cosmopolitanism that Trotskyist Marxism sought to impose on the Russians - as well as on the rest of the world'. - Dr Alexander Jacob

Book Synopsis Social Control under Stalin and Khrushchev by : Immo Rebitschek
Download or read book Social Control under Stalin and Khrushchev written by Immo Rebitschek and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the Soviet Union control the behaviour of its people? How did the people themselves engage with the official rules and the threat of violence in their lives? In this book, the contributors examine how social control developed under Stalin and Khrushchev. Drawing on deep archival research from across the former Soviet Union, they analyse the wide network of state institutions that were used for regulating individual behaviour and how Soviet citizens interacted with them. Together they show that social control in the Soviet Union was not entirely about the monolithic state imposing its vision with violent force. Instead, a wide range of institutions such as the police, the justice system, and party-sponsored structures in factories and farms tried to enforce control. The book highlights how the state leadership itself adjusted its policing strategies and moved away from mass repression towards legal pressure for policing society. Ultimately, Social Control under Stalin and Khrushchev explores how the Soviet state controlled the behaviour of its citizens and how the people relied on these structures.
