Post-Soviet Russia
Put into a nutshell, this work is, above all, an attempt at a compressed chronicle that allows for quick understanding of the last ten years of Russian political history.It is what the French call histoire evenementielle: an account of recent political history concentrating on hard political facts.Therefore this history concentrates on events that were from the beginning conventionally acknowledged as such, that is to say the public actions of th…
A New Class in Russian Society
One goal of the recent reforms was to facilitate the rapid emergence of a new class of property owners who were to become a stable pillar of the post-Soviet regime in Russia. The reformers have not yet achieved this objective, but they have made significant progress. It would be premature to say that Russian business people, or the "new Russians," constitute a class that has already been formed. We are observing only the initial stages in the for…
Russia Again at the Crossroads
No matter how great the country's and the people's losses have been, Russia is still a great power; its economic, scientific and technical, and cultural potential is quite considerable. The country and the people have lost neither the desire nor the ability to alter the negative course of events and to find a new path to general prosperity. I believe that, today, precisely this idea of prosperity and development can become our main national idea.…

The USSR and China

Khrushchev
The Death of the 'Chief Ideologue
Many Soviet politicians have attracted the attention of the world’s press over the last ten years but very little has been said or written about Mikhail Suslov. He kept himself to the shadows, shunning all publicity. He served neither as a minister nor as Deputy Chairman of the

Bukharin’s Last Years
The beginning of 1936 did not yet seem to presage any tragedy, either for Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin or for our country as a whole. It is true that Kirov’s assassination, and a number of closed political trials, at one of which Zinoviev and Kamenev were sentenced to long

Khrushchev
This portrait by two noted Soviet authors and dissidents of Nikita Khrushchev's years in power reveals the former leader of the Soviet Union as a decisive, even impetuous, innovator, a side of him little known before in the West. Khrushchev emerges as a man impatient to destroy Stalinism, to remedy defects in the Soviet system, and to solve the problems of Soviet agriculture. As no other book before it, Khrushchev brings into focus the many sides…

Problems of Democratization and Detente
Some four to five years ago the international situation was still a source of serious anxiety to all who cared for peace, democracy and socialism. The enormous scale of the continuous American intervention in Indochina, the incursion of the Warsaw Pact troops into the territory of the Czechoslovak
On Gulag Archipelago
In this article I shall try to provide an evaluation of Solzhenitsyn’s new book. The assessment can only be a brief and preliminary one—not merely because Gulag Archipelago is only the first of three or four volumes of a single work, but also because even by itself it
What Lies Ahead for Us
The Letter to Soviet Leaders that Solzhenitsyn has recently published is a disappointing document. But it is not difficult to argue with Solzhenitsyn on this occasion, so absurd are many of his propositions. Nevertheless, however great one’s first sense of disagreement and disappointment with Solzhenitsyn’s utopian and incompetent
On Socialist Democracy
Roy Medvedev demonstrates, in engrossing and sharp detail, how the vast gulf between Marxist-Leninist principles and official Soviet attitudes and procedures turned vital theory into hollow dogma. Focusing on the rigidities of official ideology, he makes brilliantly clear the ways in which an excessively centralized and cumbersome bureaucratic structure was disastrous for the economic, intellectual, and moral development of Soviet society-keeping…
