    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-72397-8 - Beyond Totalitarianism: Stalinism and Nazism Compared Michael Geyer and Sheila Fitzpatrick Excerpt More information 1 Introduction After Totalitarianism – Stalinism and Nazism Compared Michael Geyer with assistance from Sheila Fitzpatrick The idea of comparing Nazi Germany with the Soviet Union under Stalin is not a novel one. Notwithstanding some impressive efforts of late, however, the endeavor has achieved only limited success.1 Where comparisons have been made, the two histories seem to pass each other like trains in the night. That is, while there is some sense that they cross paths and, hence, share a time and place – if, indeed, it is not argued that they mimic each other in a deleterious war2 – little else seems to fit. And this is quite apart from those approaches which, on principle, deny any similarity because they consider Nazism and Stalinism to be at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Yet, despite the very real difficulties inherent in comparing the two regimes and an irreducible political resistance against such comparison, attempts to establish their commonalities have never ceased – not least as a result of the inclination to place both regimes in opposition to Western, “liberal” traditions. More often than not, comparison of Stalinism and Nazism worked by way of implicating a third party – the United States.3 Whatever the differences between them, they appeared small in comparison with the chasm that separated them from liberal-constitutional states and free societies. Since a three-way comparison 1 Alan Bullock, Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives (London: HarperCollins, 1991); Ian Kershaw and Moshe Lewin, eds., Stalinism and Nazism: Dictatorships in Comparison (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1977); Henry Rousso, ed., Stalinisme et nazisme: Histoire et memoire´ comparees´ (Paris: Editions´ Complexe, 1999); English translation by Lucy Golvan et al., Stalinism and Nazism (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2004); Richard J.

  • Socialism in One Country” Promoting National Identity Based on Class Identification
    “Socialism in One Country” Promoting National Identity Based on Class Identification IVAN SZPAKOWSKI The Russian Empire of the Romanovs spanned thousands of miles from the Baltic to the Pacific, with a population of millions drawn from dozens of ethnic groups. Following the Russian Civil War, the Bolsheviks inherited the problem of holding together such a heterogeneous body. At the same time, they were forced to uphold Marxist ideology demanding worldwide revolution of the proletariat while facing the reality that despite the turmoil following the First World War no such revolution was forthcoming. In 1924 the rising Joseph Stalin, along with Nikolai Bukharin, devised the theory of “Socialism in One Country” which would become the solution to many of these problems facing the Bolsheviks. First of all, it proclaimed the ability of socialism to succeed in the Soviet Union alone, without foreign aid. Additionally, it marked a change from Lenin’s policy of self-determination for the Soviet Union’s constituent nations to Stalin’s policy of a compulsory unitary state. These non-Russian ethnics were systematically and firmly incorporated into the Soviet Union by the promotion of a proletariat class mentality. The development of the theory and policy of “Socialism in One Country” thus served to forge the unitary national identity of the Soviet Union around the concept of common Soviet class identity. The examination of this policy’s role in building a new form of national identity is dependant on a variety of sources, grouped into several subject areas. First, the origin of the term “Socialism in One Country,” its original meaning and its interpretation can be found in the speeches and writings of prominent contemporary communist leaders, chief among them: Stalin and Trotsky.

RUSSIA 1. HISTORICAL. The idea of Communism, which Webster defines as "Any theory or system of social organization involving common ownership of the agents of production, and some approach to equality in the distribution of the pro- ducts of industry," is not new. In 1776 Dr. Adam Weishaupt, a professor of law in a Bavarian college, founded the Order of the Illuminati with the aim of abolishing monarchy and all ordered government, private property, inheritance, patriotism, the family, and religion. The order spread rapidly tl :agh France, Italy and Germany, but was eventually exposed and driv- e :nderground. In 1789 the Jacobin Club, organized by Robespierre and ot a who had been affiliated with the Illuminati, did much to give so sa ,ainary a hue to the French Revolution and provide a pattern for the R ussian Bolsheviks some 130 years later. Undoubtedly influenced by Weishaupt, Jean Jacques Rousseau and ot' ers, Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels, two apostate young German Jews, produced the famous Communist Manifesto in 1848 as the platform of the Communist League, a German organization which later became inter- national.

    02 Fitzpatrick 1686.qxd 13/11/09 13:44 Page 29 ELIE KEDOURIE MEMORIAL LECTURE Ending the Russian Revolution: Reflections on Soviet History and its Interpreters SHEILA FITZPATRICK University of Chicago HOW DOES ONE end the Revolution? There are two kinds of problem. First is the problem for successful revolutionaries: how to draw a line under the upheaval and get on with the task of post-upheaval government. Second is the problem for historians: when do they end their history of the revolution? On the revolutionaries’ problem: let us take as our working definition of revolution a great political and social upheaval whose participants imagine themselves to be creating a new world, consciously freeing them- selves of ‘the shackles of the past’. Gripped by the ‘moment of madness’1 that tells them that ‘all is possible’ and that familiar constraints and com- promises of life no longer apply, revolutionaries may believe the moment is eternal. Yet all commonsensical observers know that it is not, and that sooner or later ‘normality’ will return, albeit in a world that actually is transformed in many ways, not all of them intended by the revolutionaries. If the revolutionary party remains in power, it will become—to borrow a term from Mexico—the ‘Institutional Revolutionary Party’:2 in other words, the word ‘revolution’ will come to stand for the new regime.3 Read at the Academy 8 April 2008. 1 Aristide R. Zolberg, ‘Moments of madness’, Politics & Society, 2 (1972), 183–207. 2 The long-lived Mexican Partido Revolucionario Institucional was the offspring of the Mexican Revolution of 1910–20.

  • 1 the Soviet Culture of Victory1 Mark Edele [email protected] 10059 Words
    The Soviet Culture of Victory1 Mark Edele [email protected] 10,059 words (incl. notes); 15 October 2018 1 Research and writing of this essay was supported by an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship (FT140101100). Part of one section below was first published in a review of Maria Galmarini Kabbala's book in the Soviet and Post-Soviet Review 45 (2018): 109-128. 1 This essay explores the Soviet Union after World War II, a prime example of how victory “locks in” a political system.2 Thus, in a mirror image of Wolfgang Schivelbusch’s argument of how “cultures of defeat” encourage social and political innovation, 3 the Soviet “culture of victory” reaffirmed a dictatorial system of government and a command economy based on collectivized agriculture and centrally planned industry.4 I argue that the Soviet culture of victory was, first of all, a culture of celebrating the victory of the Soviet system. The Soviet case, then, is an example for how victory in war can have negative consequences for the further development of societies.5 A dysfunctional system of government and a political economy of scarcity were immunized from necessary change for decades to come.6 At the same time, however, the war also engendered subtle changes to this system, putting into doubt the causal links between defeat and innovation, or victory and conservatism implied in Schivelbusch's scheme.7 Some transformations gathered pace subterraneously at first, but would come into their own decades later. 8 Many of them were linked, directly or indirectly, with the war, and took place in the context of the Soviet culture of victory and often in reference to the victorious war.

Particular attention is paid to assessing the impact of Lenin and Stalin on developments after 1918 and the interplay among socioeconomic, gender, cultural, and ideological currents. We explore the significance of the socialist experiment and try to explain how and why the Stalinist dictatorship emerged. Topics focus on the Bolshevik seizure of power, the cultural dreams of revolutionaries, the struggle to succeed Lenin, the rise of Stalin, the cult of personality, collectivization and industrialization, the purges, and women’s emancipation. Course materials include monographs, documents, memoirs, and films. The seminar will devote attention to developing your expository and analytical skills as a writer and speaker. We will focus on developing, organizing, revising, and editing your papers and will help you to identify a thesis, develop an argument, and analyze evidence to support your thesis. All students are expected to read the College’s policy on academic integrity and honesty that appears in the Swarthmore College Bulletin.

  • The Bolsheviks and Antisemitism in 1917
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Birkbeck Institutional Research Online Revolution and Antisemitism: The Bolsheviks in 1917 BRENDAN McGEEVER ABSTRACT This essay offers an analysis of the Bolshevik encounter with antisemitism in 1917. Antisemitism was the dominant modality of racialized othering in late-imperial Russia. Yet 1917 transformed Jewish life, setting in motion a sudden and intense period of emancipation. In Russian society more generally, the dramatic escalation of working class mobilisation resulted not only in the toppling of the tsar in February, but the coming to power of the Bolsheviks just eight months later. Running alongside these revolutionary transformations, however, was the re-emergence of anti-Jewish violence and the returning spectre of pogroms. Russia in 1917, then, presents an excellent case study to explore how a socialist movement responded to rising antisemitism in a moment of political crisis and escalating class conflict. The article does two things. First, it charts how the Bolsheviks understood antisemitism, and how they responded to it during Russia’s year of revolution. In doing so, it finds that Bolsheviks participated in a wide-ranging set of campaigns organised by the socialist left, the hub of which was the soviets of workers’ and soldiers’ deputies. Second, the essay argues that antisemitism traversed the political divide in revolutionary Russia, finding traction across all social groups and political projects. As the political crisis deepened in the course of 1917, the Bolsheviks increasingly had to contend with antisemitism within the movement. In traditional Marxist accounts, racism and radicalism are often framed in contestation.
