This book is a tribute to the memory of Victor Zaslavsky
(1937-2009), sociologist, emigre from the Soviet Union, Canadian
citizen, public intellectual, and keen observer of Eastern Europe.
In seventeen essays leading European, American and Russian scholars
discuss the theory and the history of totalitarian society with a
comparative approach. They revisit and reassess what Zaslavsky
considered the most important project in the latter part of his
life: the analysis of Eastern European - especially Soviet
societies and their difficult "transition" after the fall of
communism in 1989-91. The variety of the contributions reflects the
diversity of specialists in the volume, but also reveals
Zaslavsky's gift: he surrounded himself with talented people from
many different fields and disciplines. In line with Zaslavsky's
work and scholarly method, the book promotes new theoretical and
methodological approaches to the concept of totalitarianism for
understanding Soviet and East European societies, and the study of
fascist and communist regimes in general.
