What was "Stalinism"? How far was it in line with the teachings of Marx and the practice of Lenin? Was it the logical outcome of the revolution, or was it a sort of counter-revolution? How far was Stalin an absolute ruler? Was he popular? How much support did his regime have, and from whom? What was the scale and purpose of the terror? Was there any alternative to him or to his policies? These and other controversial issues are discussed by five scholars from the USA, the Soviet Union and Britain who put forward constrasting interpretations of the phenomenon of Stalinism. The contributors are: R.W. Davies, Sheila Fitzpatrick, J. Arch Getty and Segei Mikoyan.

This text is an analysis of the ways in which "glasnost" has affected the lives of Soviet citizens, examining current Soviet writings. It represents an attempt to give the non-specialist reader some notion of what has happened in the Soviet cultural scene in recent years. It covers not only literature, but also developments in history, law, the social sciences and new frankness on issues such as nationalism, religion, women, corruption and others. The authors contrast these changes with past bans, taboos and silences. This is not a speculative book about Soviet society and its future, but rather an inside look at "glasnost".
