Placing Stalinism in its international context, David L. Hoffmann
presents a new interpretation of Soviet state intervention and
violence. Many 'Stalinist' practices - the state-run economy,
surveillance, propaganda campaigns, and the use of concentration
camps - did not originate with Stalin or even in Russia, but were
instead tools of governance that became widespread throughout
Europe during the First World War. The Soviet system was formed at
this moment of total war, and wartime practices of mobilization and
state violence became building blocks of the new political order.
Communist Party leaders in turn used these practices ruthlessly to
pursue their ideological agenda of economic and social
transformation. Synthesizing new research on Stalinist
collectivization, industrialization, cultural affairs, gender
roles, nationality policies, the Second World War, and the Cold
War, Hoffmann provides a succinct account of this pivotal period in
world history.
