This book focuses upon significant aspects of Stalinism as a system
in the USSR. It sheds new light on established questions and
addresses issues that have never before been raised in the study of
Stalinism. Stalinism constitutes one of the most striking and
contentious phenomena of the twentieth century. It not only
transformed the Soviet Union into a major military-industrial
power, but through both the Second World War and the ensuing Cold
War, and its effect on the political Left throughout much of the
world, it also transformed much of that world. This collection of
papers by an international cast of authors investigates a variety
of major aspects of Stalinism. Significant new questions - like the
role of private enterprise and violence in state-making - as well
as some of the more established questions - like the number of
Soviet citizens who died in the Second World War, whether
agricultural collectivisation was genocidal, nationality policy,
the politics of executive power, and the Leningrad affair - are
addressed here in innovative and stimulating ways. The chapters in
this book were originally published as a special issue of
Europe-Asia Studies.
