Having emerged, exhausted but triumphant, from the bloody and
divisive Russian Civil War, V. I. Lenin and his colleagues turned
to eliminating perceived ideological foes from within. In "On the
Ideological Front," Stuart Finkel tells the story of the1922
expulsion from Soviet Russia of almost one hundred prominent
intellectuals, including professors and journalists, philosophers
and engineers, writers and agronomists. Finkel's meticulously
researched and persuasively argued study sets this compelling human
drama within the context of the Bolsheviks' determined efforts to
impose ideological conformity, redefine the role of the
intelligentsia, and establish a distinctly Soviet public sphere.
The book demonstrates that the NEP period was not a time of
intellectual pluralism and ideological retreat on the part of the
Bolsheviks. On the contrary, from its formative years, the Soviet
regime zealously policed the ideological front and laid the
institutional and discursive foundations for the Stalinist state.
