"Stalinism for All Seasons" is the first comprehensive history of
the Romanian Communist Party (RCP). It traces the origins of the
once-tiny, clandestine revolutionary organization in the 1920s
through the years of national power from 1944 to 1989 to the
post-1989 metamorphoses of its members. Vladimir Tismaneanu uses
documents that he discovered while working in the RCP archives in
Bucharest in the mid-1990s and interviews with many of the party
members from the Ceau_escu and Gheorghiu-Dej eras to tell the
absorbing story of how RCP members came to power as exponents of
Moscow and succeeded in turning themselves into champions of
autonomy. Tismaneanu analyzes both the main events in Romanian
communism and the role of significant personalities in the party's
history. Situating the rise and fall of Romanian communism within
the world revolutionary movement, Stalinism for All Seasons shows
that the history of communism in one country can illuminate the
development of communism in the twentieth century. Tismaneanu
discusses significant moments in the final six decades of world
communism, including the Spanish Civil War, World War II, the
Comintern, Stalin and the Bolshevization of the Eastern European
communist parties, and de-Stalinization. He examines important
events in international affairs during Nicolae Ceau_escu's rule
(1965-1989) - particularly Romania's role in the Sino-Soviet
conflict, the Middle East, European communism, and European
security. Finally, Tismaneanu identifies the RCP's descendants
among Romania's current political parties and personalities.
Embracing a long and complex period, this book will interest
readers of twentieth-century history and anyone curious about
communism and postcommunism.
