Moscow and Greek Communism is the first comprehensive analysis of
Soviet conduct in Greece during the most critical period of Greek
history in this century-the last months of World War II and the
years of the Greek Civil War. Peter J. Stavrakis demonstrates that
Soviet policy in Greece was highly mutable and reveals how its
shifts were governed by Moscow's changing aims in the Near East
generally, Soviet policy toward the Western powers, and the
constantly changing Greek political situation. Stavrakis draws on
previously inaccessible evidence from Greek Communist archives,
recently declassified materials from the U.S. National Archives,
documents from British archives, and personal memoirs of former
Greek partisans to create the most accurate picture available of
developments in the Balkans between 1944 and 1949. He traces the
course of Soviet policy, explaining why Stalin vacillated in his
attitude toward the armed insurgency of the Greek Communist party
(KKE), finally acting in a way that ensured its defeat. Students of
Soviet foreign policy will want to consider his thesis that the
lessons learned in Greece have continued to guide Soviet
interventionism in regions where its capabilities for control are
limited.
