The Causes of Disintegration in the USSR and Yugoslavia
Recently there has been a dramatic resurgence of nationalism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. While nationalist politics plays a significant role even in relatively homogeneous countries, ethnic mobilization has reached unprecedented levels in multinational Communist states. Today two such states — the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia — have disintegrated, while a third — Czechoslovakia — is also experiencing a political identity crisis. Sevent…
Soviet-Jewish Emigration and Soviet Nationality Policy
The Price of Sovietization
The vision that has shaped and continues to shape our perception of Eastern Europe was formed largerly during the fifteen year period between the 1953 worker's uprising in Berlin, the 1956 Hungarian uprising, and the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia. It is a vision of small countries crushed by the enormous might of the Soviet Union. Many of these East European countries, including East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, participated as fullfled…
Three Years of Perestroika
The third year of Gorbachev's rule has come to an end. From the outset he proclaimed the policy of perestroika and proceeded to elaborate a strategy for restructuring Soviet society. Today this strategy is undergoing its third reformulation. Gorbachev launched his policies in a rather traditional fashion, stressing scientific and technological progress and a radical improvement in labor discipline and responsibility. On the one hand, he decided t…
The Soviet World System: Origins, Evolution, Prospects for Reform
All the social sciences are now in flux and Soviet studies even more so. Many traditional approaches prove to be useless for understanding the changed world and there is a search for new explanatory models, and even for “alternative organizing myths.” All this fosters confusion and during such periods of “paradigm change” debates assume predictable characteristics. First of all, there appears a large gap between, in John Stuart Mill's words, “the…
Le « complexe militaro-industriel » en Union soviétique
Soviet Society and the World Systems Analysis
In his review of The Neo-Stalinist State, Luke reproaches me for neglecting both “the new importance of the USSR's and Eastern Europe's niche in the world economic system” and the use of the East-West economic exchange by the Soviet regime to “sustain its ‘neo-Stalinist’ state.” These criticisms are well taken. Yet, I deliberately concentrated on the inner workings of the Soviet state in its mature form without going into the problems of the Sovi…
The Neo-Stalinist State
Reply to Castoriadis
It is unfortunate that, in discussing his position together with Brus' (who does consider re-Stalinization a viable option), Castoriadis was made to appear as if he also held such a position. It should have been said, instead, that Castoriadis believes that the continuation of neo-Stalinism is the only viable option for the future Soviet leadership. Nevertheless, and in spite of this annoying mistake, differences remain and need to be spelled out…
Neo-Stalinist State: Class Ethnicity and Consensus in Soviet Society
Adult Political Socialization in the USSR: A Study of Attitudes of Soviet Workers to the Invasion of Czechoslovakia
A survey of the attitudes of first generation Soviet workers on the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia demonstrates the significance of three social institutions - the Soviet army, the Communist party and closed enterprises - in adult socialization and in the production of strong support for the Soviet regime as a whole. The concept of 'embeddedness in the regime', which refers to the number and strength of social ties between an individual (or a gr…

The Ethnic Question in the USSR
What makes the on-going debate concerning ethnic relations in the USSR so tedious is that one can rather accurately predict the authors' conclusions by just knowing in which country they happen to live: Soviet literature tends overwhelmingly to stress the internationalizing effects of ethnic integration, while American literature emphasizes just as forcefully the disintegrating effects of ethnic nationalism. The Soviet emphasis can, of course, be…
