Differing Views of Stalin
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review and critique of three articles discussing Josef Stalin: Nove's Was Stalin Really Necessary?, Khrushchev's De-Stalinization Speech, and Toistoya's In Cannibalistic Times. Nove wanders around and concludes that Stalin epitomized the wishes of the Party, but fails to address the fact that Stalin massacred most of the leading Party members when they disagreed with him; Khrushchev makes solid, valid observations on Stalin, but then follows them with saying that Lenin was not such a bad guy, after all. His support of Lenin weakens his stance on Stalin. Toistoya reports on the publication of Conquest's book on Stalin. It was published in the former USSR in 1990, but most reading thinkers had already read it when it was smuggled into the country 20 years earlier. No bibliography.
