Both the Russian and Western press now recognize the importance
of Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin as a Soviet historical figure. Fifty
years after his execution in Stalinist Russia, Bukharin has been
rehabilated by the Communist Party and invoked as the intellectual
antecedent of Gorbachev. Challenging this view, contributors to
this volume reevaluate the intellectual and political legacy of
this Bolshevik revolutionary. They cover aspects of his thoughts
and activities previously left unexplored or misinterpreted. They
conclude that Bukharin's legacy is easily distorted when he is torn
from his own political and historical context and appropriated for
contemporary political movements.
Contributors to this Centenary Appraisal reexamine issues
central to Bukharin's intellectual and political legacy: the
social, economic, and political forms needed for transition from
capitalism to socialism; the nature of the modern capitalist state;
and the meaning of imperialism as a stage in the development of
capitalist world economy. Also covered are his activities in the
Communist International and his work in the history, philosophy,
and politics of science.
