The Ghost of the Executed Engineer
Stalin ordered his execution, but here Peter Palchinsky has the last word. His ghost leads readers through the miasma of Soviet technology and industry, pointing out the mistakes he condemned in his time, the corruption and collapse he predicted, the ultimate price paid for silencing those who were not afraid to speak out. The story of this visionary engineer's life and work, as Graham tells it, is also the story of the Soviet Union's industrial …
Between Right and Left
On 26 November 1921, Lenin sent a note to Viacheslav M. Molotov, for transmission to the Politburo, requesting that it appoint Gregorii Iakovlevich Sokolnikov a member of the Board of the People's Commissariat of Finance (PCF). The next day the Politburo approved this suggestion. Nikolai Krestinskii, the Left Communist who had served as people's commissar of finance since July 1918 and who oversaw the virtual dismantling of that ministry, had bec…

Rehabilitation in the Post-Stalinist Soviet Union
ON THE SCALE of peacetime human decimation, Stalinist purges of 1930's and 1940's in Soviet Union are perhaps unparalleled in all history. Yet it would be quite incorrect to think of purge as a Stalinist creation. Purges occurred in Bolshevik Russia before Stalin came to exercise anywhere near complete power, and they have occurred in years since Stalin's death. As Brzezinski has pointed out, process of purge is not an isolated instance, but a pe…
