Revisioning Stalin and Stalinism: Complexities, Contradictions, and Controversies

This thought-provoking collection of essays analyses the complex, multi-faceted, and even contradictory nature of Stalinism and its representations.

Stalinism was an extraordinarily repressive and violent political model, and yet it was led by ideologues committed to a vision of socialism and international harmony. The essays in this volume stress the complex, multi-faceted, and often contradictory nature of Stalin, Stalinism, and Stalinist-style leadership, and. explore the complex picture that emerges. Broadly speaking, three important areas of debate are examined, united by a focus on political leadership:

* The key controversies surrounding Stalin’s leadership role * A reconsideration of Stalin and the Cold War * New perspectives on the cult of personality

Revisioning Stalin and Stalinism is a crucial volume for all students and scholars of Stalin’s Russia and Cold War Europe.
