Gorbachev in Historic Perspective
SYMPOSIUM* THEODORE H. VON LAUE (Worcester, MA, U.S.A.) GORBACHEV IN HISTORIC PERSPECTIVE As a statesman of extraordinary impact Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev can be properly assessed only in the context of Russian/Soviet history viewed through time comparatively in the global framework. As President of the Soviet Union he faces an awesome challenge. He is officially in charge of a country located in the vast open spaces of Eurasia inhabited by di…

The World Revolution of Westernization
The World Revolution of Westernization: The Twentieth Century in Global Perspective
The author argues that the global violence and warfare of this century are the consequence of the world revolution of westernization which has characterized it. The ascendance of Europe had, by the turn of the century, brought all parts of the world under its influence and control. Westerners have seen such global emulation as a 'civilizing' process. The author argues, however, that the globe's attempt to catch up with the West militarily, econom…
From Marx to Lenin: An Evaluation of Marx's Responsibility for Soviet Authoritarianism
This study is a contribution to the debate, begun just after the October Revolution, concerning the relationship between Marx's project and Soviet society. It focuses, however, only on the political aspects of the matter: to what extent was early Soviet authoritarianism the necessary outcome of Marx's works? Since Lenin's practice and theory largely determined and justified the early political character of the Soviet state, we may ask whether Len…

Stalin in Focus
As a writer, I would like to examine what kind of soil the personality cult arose from, what social causes produced it. After all, one cannot explain everything in terms of Stalin's individual peculiarities. The philosophers ought to give an explanation."Elizar Maltsev (quoted in Roy Medvedev's Political Diary)Parading under an innocuous title, this essay intends to disarm some of the extreme tensions that still surround the image of Stalin.

Russian Peasants in the Factory 1892–1904
The character and revolutionary potential of Russian factory labor in the early phases of industrialization have been a source of controversy for over two generations. While no longer a matter of the utmost consequence, the problems of analysis and the conclusions involved in this debate have retained their significance not only for the study of the Russian revolutions but also for our contemporary experience with labor in underdeveloped countrie…

Students of the Five Year Plans are familiar with the overreach. Sing ambitions, the inflated claims, die disputed accomplishments, die misleading statistics, and the appalling human costs of “socialist industrialization” in Soviet Russia. They have generally ascribed these phenomena to Bolshevik dieory and practice. It comes as a surprise then to find die criticism of die early Five Year Plans foreshadowed, in almost identical terms, in die atta…

Legal Marxism and the “Fate of Capitalism in Russia”
In the eighteen-nineties there took place in Russia, at a time of rapid industrial advance under the “Witte System,” one of those great debates which seem to catch hold of the basic problems shaping the destiny of generations. In those years a group of narodnik writers led by Vasilii Vorontsov and Nikolai Daniel'son disputed with a young generation of Marxists the future of capitalism in Russia. By capitalism these writers understood the current …

Imperial Russia at the Turn of the Century: The Cultural Slope and the Revolution from Without
The expansion of Europe has been a much-discussed process. Unfortunately the publicists' and historians' interest has commonly been limited to surface aspects of power, to political, economic, and intellectual penetration. Yet a closer acquaintance reveals the existence of a yet deeper layer of hostile infiltration, a subtler and more subversive onslaught on native values and traditions. The 'underground' portions of western expansion have hither…
