This title deals with the period of takeover and of 'high
Stalinism' in Eastern Europe (1945-1955). These years are
considered to be fundamentally characterized by institutional and
ideological transfers based upon the premise of radical
transformism and of cultural revolution. Both a balance-sheet and a
politico-historical synthesis that reflects the archival and
thematic novelties which came about in the field of communism
studies after 1989. It contains contributions analyzing various
aspects related these topics for each country of the former Soviet
bloc (with the exception of Albania). The essays are based on new
archival research, some are reassessments of the author's previous
research and others are critical appraisals of the specific
literature published on issues related to the main topic. There is
a path-breaking comparative framework for interpreting the
relationship between late Stalinism and the communist takeovers in
former Eastern Europe. A bonus for the volume is that it also
provides detailed, sectorial analyses for the Romanian case,
something that the field is lacking as well.
