In Remembering Stalin's Victims, Kathleen E. Smith examines how
government reformers' repudiation of Stalin's repressions both in
the 1950s and in the 1980s created new political crises. Drawing on
interviews, she tells the stories of citizens and officials in
conflict over the past. She also addresses the underlying question
how societies emerging from repressive regimes reconcile themselves
to their memories. Soviet leaders twice attempted to liberalize
Communist rule and both times their initiatives hinged on criticism
of Stalin. During the years of the Khrushchev "thaw" and again
during Gorbachev's glasnost, antistalinism proved a unique catalyst
for democratic mobilization. The battle over the Soviet past, Smith
suggests, not only illuminates the dynamic between elite and mass
political actors during liberalization but also reveals the scars
that totalitarian rule has left on Russian society and the
long-term obstacles to reform it has created.
