London / New York, Longman Higher Education, 269 p., Paperback. Good condition. -- For a quarter of a century Stalin, Russian despot and European dictator, dominated the Soviet political scene. Stalin's concept of socialism - his belief in total and immediate change - was to involve Russia in a new social and political revolution. This revolution, more radical even than that of 1917, was attended by a new type of political power and culture -Stalinism. Repressive and totalitarian, Stalin's reign was characterised by the primacy of communist policy over all else. -- In Stalin, part two of her major two-volume study of the historical and political development of Russian Communism, Professor Carrère d'En-causse retraces the rise of Stalinism, explaining the mechanisms through which Stalin secured absolute control of the Russian political system and of society. She sees the Stalin experience not as a particular and peculiar episode in Russian history, but rather as a reflection of the historical conflict between Russia's Asian roots, and the pressure for Western reform.
