Introduction: Primitive Accumulation and Socialism
In this dossier, Marx's concept of primitive accumulation is applied to socialist development in the Soviet Union, China, and Romania, three countries in which socialist revolution occurred before the full development of capitalism. The introduction profiles the ideas of Evgenii Preobrazhensky, the Soviet theorist and left oppositionist, who first applied Marx's concept to the problems of socialist development, and was executed under Stalin in 19…
Blood on the Red Banner: Primitive Accumulation in the World's First Socialist State
This article provides a reinterpretation of Stalinism through the lens of Marx's concept of primitive accumulation. It connects a series of defining events that are usually viewed separately – the debates and oppositional movements of the 1920s, industrialization, collectivization, and the “Great Terror” – to the state's need to accumulate capital for development. Using the idea of “primitive socialist accumulation”, first introduced by the Sovie…
Fortress Dark and Stern: The Soviet Home Front during World War II
The book tells the story, largely unknown to Western readers, of the Soviet home front during World War II. After Hitler’s invasion in 1941, German troops conquered the heartland of Soviet industry and agriculture and turned the occupied territories into mass killing fields. In one of the greatest wartime feats in history, Soviet workers rapidly evacuated factories, food, and people thousands of miles to the east and built a new industrial base b…

Inventing the Enemy: Denunciation and Terror in Stalin's Russia
Inventing the Enemy uses stories of personal relationships to explore the behaviour of ordinary people during Stalin's terror. Communist Party leaders strongly encouraged ordinary citizens and party members to 'unmask the hidden enemy' and people responded by flooding the secret police and local authorities with accusations. By 1937, every workplace was convulsed by hyper-vigilance, intense suspicion and the hunt for hidden enemies. Spouses, co-w…
Stalinist Terror and Democracy: The 1937 Union Campaign
question in a poem about Stalinist terror:We must give an answer: Who needed The monstrous destruction of the generation That the country, severe and tender, Raised for twenty years in work and battle? 1 Historians, united only by a commitment to do this question justice, differ sharply about almost every aspect of "the Great Terror": 2 the intent of the state, the targets of repression, the role of external and internal pressures, the degree of …
Women at the Gates: Gender and Industry in Stalin's Russia
In the annals of Industrialization, the Soviet experience is unique in its whirlwind rapidity. Even more striking was the critical role of women: in no country of the world did women come to constitute such a significant part of the working class in so short a time. They composed a larger percentage of the working class, filled an unprecedented share of jobs in heavy industry, and served as the first targeted 'reserve' for Soviet labour policy an…
Industrial Politics, Peasant Rebellion and the Death of the Proletarian Women's Movement in the USSR
In December 1927 delegates to the XV Party Congress of the Soviet Union adopted the slogan, "Face toward Production." Over the next five years, as the Party embarked on a massive effort to industrialize the country and collectivize agriculture, this slogan came to define policy in every area of life. The Party daily exhorted the people to speed up production, increase the harvest, reconstruct agriculture. Workers erected behemoths of heavy indust…

Women, the State and Revolution: Soviet Family Policy and Social Life, 1917–1936
When the Bolsheviks came to power in 1917, they believed that under socialism the family would 'wither away.' They envisioned a society in which communal dining halls, daycare centres, and public laundries would replace the unpaid labour of women in the home. Yet by 1936 legislation designed to liberate women from their legal and economic dependence had given way to increasingly conservative solutions aimed at strengthening traditional family tie…

Soviet Sisterhood
Response to Benenson, “Victorian Sexual Ideology…”
A Bolshevik woman and Soviet activist by the name of Gureyeva spoke against the family wage before the AU-Union Congress of Working and Peasant Women in 1927: "What gives us, women, the basis of equal rights, what strengthens our independence? Our independent wage. All we women know that a separate wage gives us our own position of independence and forces those around us to treat us as an equal member of society and the family." 1 Gureyeva and ot…
