First impressions matter: Stalin's initial encounter with Lenin, Tammerfors 1905
The meeting of Joseph Stalin with V.I. Lenin in December 1905 at the Tammerfors Party Conference has usually been described as the first encounter of a devoted young admirer with his inspiring mentor, an encounter which solidified Stalin's respect for and devotion to the leader whom he had previously known only through, his writings. Two accounts of the meeting given by Stalin in the early 1920s have been the basis for this interpretation. A clos…

The Transition from War Communism to the New Economic Policy: An Analysis of Stalin's Views
ne might expect that question of what Stalin thought in 1921 of shift from militant socialist construction to New Economic Policy should long ago have been exhausted by historians. But instead, how central figure in twentiethcentury Russian history reacted to this fundamental reshaping of revolution has drawn only scant attention. For example, of four major biographers-Deutscher, Ulam, Tucker and McNeal-only first two even touch upon Stalin's rec…
Bazhanov and the Damnation of Stalin
On January 1, 1928, Bazhanov escaped from the Soviet Union and became for many years the most important member of a new breed-the Soviet defector. At the age of 28, he had become an invaluable aid to Stalin and the Politburo, and had he stayed in Stalin's service, Bazhanov might well have enjoyed the same meteoric careers as the man who replaced him when he left, Georgy Malenkov. However, Bazhanov came to despise the unethical and brutal regime h…
"On the Origin and Significance of the Name "Stalin
Iosif Djugashvili first used the pseudonym by which he became famous on December 1, 1912, when he signed article in the Bolsheviks' St. Petersburg newspaper Pravda as K. Stalin.1 His biographers generally point out that the name is based on the Russian word for steel (cmazb) and hence was meant to signify that Djugashvili-Stalin was a man of steel.2 Robert C. Tucker further argues that Djugashvili intended the name to indicate his likeness to the…
Harmonicas for Lenin? The Development of German Economic Policy toward Soviet Russia, December 1918 to June 1919
Rathenau, Russia, and Rapallo
The Treaty of Rapallo, concluded between Soviet Russia and the Weimar Republic on April 16, 1922, has been interpreted by Western historians as a logical result of the process of the reestablishment of the close economic ties which Germany and Russia had shared before the First World War. “A long tradition built on a solid foundation of common interest,” writes Edward Hallett Carr, “favoured the rapid development of commercial relations. ...

Soviet Policy Toward Germany During the Russo-Polish War, 1920
The Russo-Polish War occasioned some of the most anxious moments in the history of relations between Soviet Russia and the Weimar Republic. Within Germany, the advance of the Red Army toward Warsaw in 1920 aroused strong, but contradictory emotions. First, it led many Germans to anticipate the destruction of Poland and to hope for the restoration of the Reich's former eastern territories. Simultaneously, however, the westward Russian march raised…
