Dictatorship And Conflict In The USSR, 1924-53

Visão Geral

When Lenin died in January 1924, almost nobody expected Joseph Stalin to succeed him. He was not the party's best speaker, its best writer or its best-known revolutionary, and Lenin's final dictated notes had recommended removing him from his post. Within five years he had defeated every rival, and within ten he was directing an economic transformation and a campaign of terror that reached into the leadership of his own party.

This note covers the leadership struggle, the Five-year Plans and collectivisation, the purges and the cult of personality, daily life in the Soviet Union, and the Second World War and its aftermath. The human cost was enormous and the numbers are contested; where they are, you will be given the range and told why historians disagree.

Nota de Aula

Lenin suffered a series of strokes from 1922 and died on 21 January 1924. He left no agreed method of choosing a successor, because the Bolshevik Party had never had to choose one, and the notes he dictated in December 1922 and January 1923, later known as his Testament, criticised every leading candidate. Of Stalin he wrote that he had concentrated unlimited authority in his hands as General Secretary and was too rude for the post, and recommended his removal. The Testament was suppressed by the leadership in 1924, partly because it criticised them all, which was Stalin's first substantial piece of luck.
