V. the Rise of Stalin All Is Going Well Until Lenin Suffers a Stroke in May 1923 V. The Rise of Stalin All is going well until Lenin suffers a stroke in May 1923. There is a vacuum of leadership in the Communist Party. 5 members of the Politburo: *Leon Trotsky – foreign minister, chief of the Red Army, intellectual, Jewish. Not liked for Anti-Semitic reasons and he joined the party later than the rest. Seems to be the heir apparent. Gregory Zinoviev – leader of the ComIntern whose job is foster communist revolutions to other countries. Les Kamenev – chief of staff. Nikolai Bukharin – propaganda chief and supporter/originator of NEP *Joseph Stalin (1879-1953) – real name Joseph Dzhugashvili. Georgian not Russian. Lies about origin (Stalin Russian word for steel). Rises through the Bolshevik’s leadership rather quickly as a thug. Sent to Siberia multiple times, always escapes. Not considered a great thinker nor a great speaker. Didn’t do anything during Revolution other than hang around Lenin (yes man/occasional idea) and run the Communist newspaper Pravda. Very good at politics. Appointed Secretary to the Communist Party – not much power other than to confirm Lenin’s ideas and appoint commissars/anti-Semites (important later). After Lenin is incapacitated, Stalin, Kamenov, Zinoviev work together to discredit Trotsky. They start issuing propaganda trying to turn Lenin into a God-like figure of Communism (Cult of Personality). Petrograd renamed Leningrad. Trotsky was known to speak his mind and would argue with Lenin. When the 3 believed Trotsky was wrong on something they would denounce him publically as going against the will of Lenin. Stalin begins appoint loyal cronies to commissar positions. Stalin convinces people that he is Lenin’s personal choice to succeed him. Lenin suffers another stroke in December. Very ill, can’t talk, dying. Knows what Stalin is doing. In his will he writes that Stalin should be expelled from the Communist Party. Will read to the Central Committee and Kamenov/Zinoviev leap to Stalin’s defense. They say this is the one time Lenin was wrong (affected by his stroke). Will suppressed. Lenin dies in January 1924. Ideological debates about post-Lenin Soviet Union. NEP vs. Collectivization – Bukharin wants to keep NEP. Trotsky wants collectivization (instead of small private farms, massive state run farms). Stalin sides with Bukharin (even though he secretly favors collectivization). Revolution – Trotsky believes that Russia’s experiment will only work if a world (mainly Europe) wide communist revolution were to happen. Stalin wants to build socialism in one country. He wants to focus building/securing communism in the Soviet Union first. The Central Committee now filled with Stalin’s cronies/anti-Semites strip Trotsky position has head of the army. Trotsky, popular with the army, could have pulled coup, but his principles 1 were against dictatorships. Slowly and surely loses all authority within the Soviet Union. Trotsky and any of his supporters (the Left) exiled by 1927. No country would have him. Eventually settles in Mexico were his later assassinated on Stalin’s orders. The dictatorship of Joseph Stalin begins VI. Stalin’s Totalitarianism Like Hitler will be, Stalin controls everything in Russia – education, propaganda, military, economy, etc Once his position is secure, he begins cracking down on any possible threat. Any enemies not only executed, but removed from any trace of Russian history. Stalin targets former allies Kamenov and Zinoviev trumped up on false allegations and kicked out of the party. Continues to feel the Central Committee with cronies. Bukharin finally starts to fear Stalin and secretly works against him. In 1928 Stalin proclaims he is the Lenin of today and turns himself into a living God of Communism (a new Cult of Personality is born) Stalin announces that communism could not continue until the Soviet Union’s industrial base grew. Stalin issues his 5 Year Plan (1928-1933). It is a bold initiative of massive industrial growth to catch the West. Immediately ends Lenin’s prosperous NEP. Collectivization (which Stalin now proclaims as his idea) begins – all use of land, animals, and equipment directed by the state. Small plots of farm are consolidated into massive state run farms. State issued quota and supplied seed, machinery, and clothing. Peasants either directed to work on collectivized farms or go to the city for industrial work. Majority of grain confiscated by the state to feed the industrial sectors of the Soviet Union. Estimated that 7 million die of hunger. Any hint of peasant resistance is immediately executed (and those around him). Many peasants burn their land/crops/animals rather than give them to state (cattle - 67 million to 34 million by 1933). Hundreds of thousands executed and 2 million sent to Siberia. One Russian officer, “I fought against the Czar. I fought in the Civil War. Now I machine gun peasants?” Stalin announces the amazing success of his 5 Year Plan. Industry (oil, electricity, steel, chemicals) did see growth while the West was gripped in the Great Depression. Agriculture production falls dramatically Stalin announces another 5 Year Plan. More of the same Stalin turns his attention to Russia’s 180 nationalities. Lenin had promised them independence, but Stalin orders them to form a soviet like government that answers to Moscow. Any resistance crushed 2 Stalin solidifies his hold on the people with the new radio device and propaganda (Heroes of Labor). Affectionately known as “Uncle Joe.” In 1934 Stalin’s purges begin. Expelling political enemies from the Communist Party is no longer good enough. Gulags and public trials used to deal with “enemies of the state” and “conspiring capitalists.” Sergei Kirov assassinated (In annual elections to politburo Kirov got only 3 negative votes. Stalin got 273. Ever paranoid Stalin concerned Kirov was becoming to popular)(Kirov head of the Petrograd Soviet, charismatic, young, pro-Stalin, very popular)(No proof, but Stalin probably had him killed). Using Kirov death as pretext, Stalin uses his NKVD (Cheka) to arrest any conspirators. Oddly, all of the suspects are original Bolsheviks or any potential enemy of Stalin. Suspects beaten, tortured and forced to go in front of tribunals (Darkness at Noon) and confess their “crimes.” Confessions later used as propaganda. Estimated 3 million are executed. VII. Soviet Values and Culture Only art that was allowed glorifies work and the wonders of socialism. E.G. – happy workers, uniformity, Stalin. Women – on equal status as men. Same wages, same “opportunity.” Can vote in soviets. State does bring in daycare and maternity leave. School for all children as education is valued. That too is state run. Aethism is promoted as nothing should be superior to the dominance/place of the state. Many churches that don’t conform are closed. Some churches continue, but closely watched. E.G. a Russian woman says, “that if the people could pray more, they could work better.” Arrested and jailed 3 .

  • Nicolai Ivanovich Bukharin 1 888- 1938"
    NICOLAI IVANOVICH BUKHARIN 1 888- 1938" Ken Coates 1978 marks a macabre anniversary. Forty years ago, in March 19 38, there took place in Moscow the last of the great show ~rials.' Previously there had already been two earlier public trials of former Bolshevik leaders, mowing down among others, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Piatakov and ~adek.~ A closed court-martial involving foremost Red Army commanders like Tukhachevsky, Yakir and Kork had also preceded this last trial,3 which was to involve Bukharin, Rykov, Krestinsky, Yagoda, Rakovsky and sixteen others. The third great trial was in one sense the keystone in a horrendous arch: all the charges which were brought in its forerunners were calculated to prove that Trotsky, from exile, was organizing with a selection of foreign powers to bring about the downfall of the Soviet Government, and that the internal opposition was not only disloyal, but criminally implicated in a vast terrorist conspiracy. By extending the web of this plot to implicate Bukharin and Rykov, a final amalgamation was thus charged against former oppositions of both Right and Left, and the effect was to establish that henceforth no "loyal" opposition was in fact possible. The Soviet political structure still manifestly suffers the ill-effects of this tragic decision, which would have been baleful even if the absurdly implausible charges in the trials had all been true, and was simply paralysing in the actual event, that they were all deliberately fabricated. Ryltov was, after all, a former prime minister, and Bukharin had been not only editor of Isvestia, and long-standing politbureau member, but, from 1926 onwards, chairman of the Communist International.

  • Ar Thur Koestler and Mysticism
    AR THUR KOESTLER AND MYSTICISM by NILS BJORN KVASTAD ARTHUR Koestler was an influential writer during the first years after the war. His attacks on communism got a world-wide echo, in particular among intellectuals. To the reading public he was in the first place a political writer. But according to himself the political content is only one aspect of his literary production from his first years as an author. As important were some mystical experiences he had while sitting in one of Franco's prisons awaiting execution during the Spanish Civil War. These experiences had for him certain ethical impli cations, and an important theme in his first books was the contrast between the ethics derived from his mystical experiences on the one hand and Marxist-Leninist ethics as well as the ethical implications of Freudian psychoanalysis on the other. In his autobiography Koest­ ler writes about how his first books were influenced by his mysti­ cal experiences, or the 'hours by the window' as he called them: 'In the years that followed I wrote a number of books in which I at­ tempted to assimilate the (mystical) experiences of cell no. 40. Ethical problems had hitherto played no part in my writing, now they became its central concern. In 'The Gladiators', ( ...), and 'Darkness at Noon', ( .•. ), I tried to come to intellectual terms wi th the in tuiti ve glimp ses gained durin g the 'hours by th e win­ dow'. Both novels were variations on the same theme: the problem of Ends and Means, the conflict between transcendental morality and social expediency.

  • 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.

  • A VOICE from the DEAD Philosophical Arabesques
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DCU Online Research Access Service A VOICE FROM THE DEAD Helena Sheehan Introduction to Philosophical Arabesques by Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin (1888-1938) published by Monthly Review Press and New York University Press New York 2004 This is a voice from the dead. It is a voice speaking to a time that never heard it, a time that never had a chance to hear it. It is only speaking now to a time not very well disposed to hearing it. This text was written in 1937 in the dark of the night in the depths of the Lubyanka prison in Moscow. It was completed in November on the 20 th anniversary of the socialist revolution to which its author had given his life, the revolution that was in the process of devouring its own true believers, the revolution that was not only condemning him to death but demanding that he slander his whole life. This text lay buried in a Kremlin vault for more than half a century after its author had been executed and his name expunged from the pages of the books telling of the history he had participated in making. After decades, his name was restored and his memory honoured in a brief interval where the story of the revolution was retold, retold in a society to which it crucially mattered, just before that society collapsed to be replaced by one in which the story was retold in another and hostile way, a society in which his legacy no longer mattered to many.

  • View: "Koestler"
    Books Book Review: "Koestler" The Literary and Political Odyssey of a Twentieth-Century Skeptic. By Michael Scammell '85GSAS. By Michael Kimmage | Winter 2009-10 Arthur Koestler in New York City. (Bettman / Corbis) When Arthur Koestler arrived in New York City in March 1948 to launch an American speaking tour, his visit was front-page news. An audience of 3000 filled Carnegie Hall, eager to hear Koestler’s thoughts on “the radical’s dilemma” and on America’s pressing need to confront Soviet communism. Koestler had gained worldwide fame for his novel Darkness at Noon, published in 1940. The hero of the novel is Nicholas Rubashov, a devout communist caught in Stalin’s net in the 1930s for straying from the party line. Before his inevitable execution, he is interrogated and forced to confess to ludicrous crimes. At the heart of his ordeal is an “absolute faith in History”: Stalin may be fallible, but the Soviet cause is infallible and can be made to justify countless deaths, including Rubashov’s own. The novel’s taut, philosophical style made it a staple of international literary culture, damaged the Communist Party’s global reputation, and made its author an icon of the engagé intellectual. For much of the Cold War, Koestler was a celebrity anti- communist. Yet when Koestler, the author of some 30 books, died in 1983, his chosen legacy was detached from political parties, movements, and causes. In his will, he left most of his estate to endow an academic chair in parapsychology. This unorthodox evolution can now be traced in Koestler: The Literary and Political Odyssey of a Twentieth-Century Skeptic, a new biography by Michael Scammell ’85GSAS, professor of creative writing at Columbia.

  • Nikolai Bukharin's First Statement of Confession in the Lubianka1
    Nikolai Bukharin’s First Statement of Confession in the Lubianka1 Grover Furr (USA) and Vladimir Bobrov (Russia) Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin (1888-1938) remains one of the most puzzling figures of Soviet history. Although his rehabilitation took place in 1988 to this day not a single piece of historical evidence supporting this verdict has ever been published. All the documents published during the period of the “Bukharin Boom” of the 1990s in one way or another touch on the question of the accusations against him. But only in a single case — his letter to Joseph Stalin of December 10, 1937 — did Bukharin utter a determined “Not Guilty” to the crimes of which he was accused. All the remaining documents, including other letters of his, provide evidence supporting the opposite conclusion. 1 Editor’s note: This essay was originally written in Russian and published in the journal, Klio (St. Petersburg), No. 1 (36), 2007, pp. 38-52. The Russian version is available at the following: http://chss.montclair.edu/english/furr/research/furrnbobrov_klio0107.pdf. N. Bukharin’s “Personal Confession,” translated by Grover Furr, appears immediately after the present essay (p. 19). Bukharin’s original Russian version of the “Confession” may be accessed at the following: http://chss.montclair.edu/english/furr/research/bukhconfession_klio0107.pdf. Copyright © 2007 by Grover Furr, Vladimir Bobrov, and Cultural Logic, ISSN 1097-3087 Grover Furr and Vladimir Bobrov 2 A significant number of primary sources related to the last period of Bukharin’s life remain unavailable to historians.2 In the present publication we offer to the reader’s attention a document which relates precisely to this little-known and, in essence, little researched stage of Bukharin’s life, that stage that still holds many secrets and unsolved mysteries.

  • The Prisoner Intellectuals
    Published on The New Republic (http://www.tnr.com) The Prisoner Intellectuals • Paul Berman • May 5, 2010 | 6:34 pm Koestler: The Literary and Political Odyssey of a Twentieth Century Skeptic By Michael Scammell (Random House, 689 pp., $40) I. The opening pages of Arthur Koestler’s Darkness at Noon are thrilling to read. In a very few sentences, Koestler managed to wrap his arms around one of the huge and mysterious philosophical master-themes of the last two centuries, and, in a muscular feat of poetic compression, to reduce his giant theme to a handful of simple images: The cell door slammed behind Rubashov. He remained leaning against the door for a few seconds, and lit a cigarette. On the bed to his right lay two fairly clean blankets, and the straw mattress looked newly filled. The wash-basin to his left had no plug, but the trap functioned. The can next to it had been freshly disinfected, it did not smell. The walls on both sides were of solid brick, which would stifle the sound of tapping, but where the heating and drain pipe penetrated it, it had been plastered and resounded quite well; besides, the heating pipe itself seemed to be noise-conducting. The window started at eye- level. And Rubashov observes the vista beyond the window bars: the snow, the moon, the Milky Way, a marching sentry, the yellow light of electric lanterns. You will remember that Rubashov is a hardened militant of the Communist revolution. In the old days, when he was a high-ranking commissar, he used to enforce Communist discipline on the party rank-and-file in different parts of the world, in the interest of the Soviet Union.

  • On Stalin's Team
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION When Stalin wanted to temporize in dealing with foreigners, he sometimes indicated that the problem would be getting it past his Polit- buro. This was taken as a fiction, since the diplomats assumed, correctly, that the final decision was his. But that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a Polit buro that he consulted or a team of colleagues he worked with. That team—about a dozen persons at any given time, all men—came into ex- istence in the 1920s, fought the Opposition teams headed by Lev Trotsky and Grigory Zinoviev after Lenin’s death, and stayed together, remark- ably, for three decades, showing a phoenixlike capacity to survive team- threatening situations like the Great Purges, the paranoia of Stalin’s last years, and the perils of the post- Stalin transition. Thirty years is a long time to stay together in politics, even in a less lethal political climate than that of the Soviet Union under Stalin. The team finally disbanded in 1957, when one member (Nikita Khrushchev) made himself the new top boss and got rid of the rest of them. I’ve used the term “team” (in Russian, komanda) for the leadership group around Stalin. At least one other scholar has also used this term, but alternatives are available. You could call it a “gang” (shaika) if you wanted to claim that its activities—ruling the country—had an illegiti- mate quality that made them essentially criminal rather than govern- mental.
