Since Gorbachev took office in 1985, every aspect of the Soviet
past has been under scrutiny. Tens of millions of Soviet citizens
are eagerly absorbing and debating the vast outpouring of novels,
books and articles, and films and TV programmes, about their past.
Much new information has appeared, often sensational, about how the
Stalin regime worked and what it meant for top politicians,
generals, intellectuals and ordinary citizens. Stalinists, Russian
nationalists, democratic socialists and others are locked in bitter
debate. Was the victory of Stalinism inevitable? Was there an
alternative road to socialism? Even Lenin and his policies are now
questioned. The Politburo itself is deeply divided about how far
the debate should go and what conclusions should be drawn from it.
The reconsideration about the past is part of the discussion about
the way forward for Soviet society: how big should be the role of
the market? How much freedom and democracy?
