- Title
Revisioning Stalin and Stalinism: Complexities, Contradictions and Controversies.
- Abstract
This book of new essays is dedicated to Geoffrey Roberts, a notable Soviet specialist who has published extensively on the Stalin-era USSR, including a chapter in this collection. Nothing submitted by the peace movement which Stalin was likely to question was kept from reaching his desk, but the movement's leaders were in no doubt that Stalin was the key decision-maker. This does not mean that an examination of Stalin is being honoured only in the breach, but rather it is an observation that leadership cults could well be conditioned by a country's own cultural and historical traditions, while at times being prepared to borrow extensively from the Stalin arsenal, certainly in the case of Rákosi.
