Drawing on recently declassified material from Stalin's personal
archive in Moscow, this is the first attempt by scholars to
systematically analyze the way Stalin interpreted and envisioned
his world-both the Soviet system he was trying to build and its
wider international context. Since Stalin rarely left his offices
and perceived the world largely through the prism of verbal and
written reports, meetings, articles, letters, and books, a
comprehensive analysis of these materials provides a unique and
valuable opportunity to study his way of thinking and his
interaction with the outside world. Comparing the materials that
Stalin read from week to week with the decisions that he
subsequently shaped, Sarah Davies and James Harris show not only
how Stalin perceived the world but also how he misperceived it.
After considering the often far-reaching consequences of those
misperceptions, they investigate Stalin's contribution to the
production and regulation of official verbal discourse in a system
in which huge political importance was attached to the correct use
of words and phrases..
