Most writing on the dramatic events in the former Soviet Union has
been based on the assumption that Russia is engaged in a transition
from "state socialism" to capitalism, and focuses on political and
ideological debates formulated in these terms.
This book questions whether Russia is in transition to capitalism
and looks behind the political and ideological debates to focus on
the development of the social relations of production, and on the
class struggles to which these give rise. Simon Clarke introduces
the book with an examination of the crisis of state socialism, in
order to identify the dynamic of change in contemporary Russia.
Michael Burawoy and Pavel Krotov develop a detailed case study of
one Russian enterprise, which is followed by an analysis of the
role of the trade unions in the Soviet system by Simon Clarke and
Peter Fairbrother, on the basis of which they develop an analytical
account of the development of the workers' movement in Russia since
1987. Simon Clarke concludes the book with a detailed examination
of struggles around privatization.
The common conclusion is that beneath the political turmoil the
dominant class has renewed and restructured itself, but has not
managed to overcome the challenge presented by the working class.
The fragmentation and atomization of the working class remains a
problem, but the struggle over the transformation of class
relations is only just beginning.
