Nikita Kruschev era o secretário geral do PC e leu , na ocasião, um documento que se tornou célebre por ter abalado o mundo inteiro. O relatório era para ser secreto, restrito aos integrantes do comitê central do PCUS. Mas vazou e todos os órgãos da mídia internacional deram ampla divulgação ao documento que fazia uma revisão da política de Stálin na União Soviética com denúncia até então inimagináveis na época. As repercussões políticas foram imensa, não apenas na URSS, mas fora delas, principalmente nos Partidos Comunistas ocidentais que, de uma hora para outra, viram-se na urgência de revisar suas posições. Aí dois pólos: o Partido Comunista Italiano, que desde o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial, baseado na linha política de Antonio Gramsci, construía sua política a partir da realidade italiana, e o Partido Comunista Francês que sempre se alinhou de forma incondicional aos soviéticos. Eram os dois mais importantes PCs do Ocidente. Mas o debate estava instalado e era impossível escapar dele. Os italianos mais independentes e melhor aparelhados teoricamente tornaram-se uma referência para a esquerda mundial. Os franceses, mais duros, perderam alguns de seus intelectuais mais expressivos. O pequeno, mas influente, PC inglês, também soube tirar proveito do sopro de liberdade que o Relatório de Kruschev gerou. No Brasil, o fato teve uma enorme repercussão, gerando a dissidência de Agildo Barata que era o segundo líder em importância no Partidão, apenas depois de Luis Carlos Prestes. Entretanto, o que os meios de comunicação, com raras exceções, nunca chegaram a mencionar na época é que muitos anos antes do célebre relatório, o líder revolucionário Leon Trotsky já havia feito o inventário do stalinismo com muito mais profundidade do que o Relatório de Kruschev. Em obras como "A Revolução Desfigurada", "A Revolução Traída", "Os Crimes de Stálin", Trotsky já havia feito a denúncia e analisado o surgimento de um novo regime político que ele chamaria de o "termidor soviético", uma negação dos princípios e propósitos da Revolução Socialista de 1917: um regime político, social e econômico que tinha como único fator ativo a camada burocrática detentora absoluta do poder. Anos depois, logo ao final da Segunda Guerra, um pequeno grupo da esquerda francesa, animado principalmente por Cornelius Castoriadis, criou a revista "Socialismo ou Barbárie", que iria ainda mais longe nas críticas à burocracia soviética, negando que esta era uma casta parasitária, como pensava Trotsky, mas sim era uma nova classe social que dirigia um tipo diferente de capitalismo, o "capitalismo burocrático total". A invasão da Hungria, em novembro de 1956, pelas tropas soviéticas que esmagaram a revolução dos conselhos operários, iria comprometer seriamente o Relatório de Kruschev, mas os efeitos deste foram fundamentais para a posterior evolução da esquerda mundial. Não podemos desprezar na história da esquerda brasileira este momento crucial do Século XX. Nós do PT, de certa forma somos também resultado do esfacelamento parcial do regime stalinista em 1956, quando se abriram as perspectivas para o surgimento vigoroso de uma nova esquerda em escala internacional. ___________________________________________________ O RELATÓRIO KRUSCHEV: 60 ANOS Paulo Timm - Porto Alegre - 25 fevereiro 2016 Íntegra deste artigo em http://www.paulotimm.com.br/site/downloads/lib/pastaup/Obras%20do%20Tim m/160225031317RELATORIO_KRUSHCHEV.pdf À memória de Luiz Paulo Pilla Vares, combativo jornalista portoalegrense que nos abriu os olhos para o marxismo crítico. * “a exigência de abandonar as ilusões sobre sua condição é a exigência de abandonar uma condição que necessita de ilusões” (Karl Marx - 1844, em Introdução à Crítica da Filosofia do Direito de Hegel) “A força do Estado totalitário é tão grande que deixou de ser um meio, convertendo-se em objeto de admiração e êxtase místico , religioso.” Vassili Grossman in “Vida e Destino”, pg226 “À minha frente estava o fim previsível de um caminho , um desastre de ressonâncias apocalípticas, mas , sobretudo, a ruína de uma casa, de uma cidade inteira, mas, sob de sonhos e vidas.

Carlos Nelson Coutinho in A democracia como valor universal. Estivesse vivo, Luiz Paulo Pilla Vares, jornalista, ativo militante comunista, crítico incansável do estalinismo, teria iniciado assim sua crônica do dia: “Há exatos 60 anos ocorreu o 20º. Congresso do Partido Comunista da União Soviética. Nikita Krushchev era o Secretário Geral do PC e leu, na ocasião, um documento que se tornou célebre por ter abalado o mundo inteiro” Assim fez , quando o que viria a ser denominado Relatório Krushchev celebrou seu cinquentenário. Há dez justos anos: “Nós do PT, de certa forma somos também resultado do esfacelamento parcial do regime stalinista em 1956, quando se abriram as perspectivas para o surgimento vigoroso de uma nova esquerda em escala internacional”. Luis Paulo Pilla Varres – in O Relatório que Assombrou o Mundo - http://www.pilla.vares.nom.br/2006/relatori.htm - 27/03/2006 Relembro-o e o homenageio com este pequeno estudo sobre o Stalinismo. A denúncia dos crimes de Stalin não era inédita. Já tinha história. A grande cisão da social democracia europeia no início do século XX já prenunciava uma contestação severa ao modelo da revolução bolchevique, a qual, entretanto, acabaria se impondo depois de 1917 como o verdadeiro caminho da esquerda revolucionária. Mas logo abriria suas próprias fendas ideológicas. O Relatório Kruschev, de 1956, as revelaria.

  • Title of Thesis: ABSTRACT CLASSIFYING BIAS
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

  • 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.

  • Serhii Plokhy Mapping the Great Famine One of the Most Insightful
    Serhii Plokhy Mapping the Great Famine One of the most insightful and moving eyewitness accounts of the Holodomor, or the Great Ukrainian Famine of 1932–33, was written by Oleksandra Radchenko, a teacher in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine. In her diary, which was confiscated by Stalin’s secret police and landed the author in the Gulag for ten long years, the 36-year-old teacher recorded not only what she saw around her but also what she thought about the tragedy unfolding before her eyes. “I am so afraid of hunger; I’m afraid for the children,” wrote Radchenko, who had three young daughters, in February 1932. “May God protect us and have mercy on us. It would not be so offensive if it were due to a bad harvest, but they have taken away the grain and created an artificial famine.” That year she wrote about the starvation and suffering of her neighbors and acquaintances but recorded no deaths from hunger. It all changed in January 1933, when she encountered the first corpse of a famine victim on the road leading to her home. By the spring of 1933, she was regularly reporting mass deaths from starvation. “People are dying,” wrote Radchenko in her entry for May 16, 1933, “…they say that whole villages have died in southern Ukraine.”1 Was Radchenko’s story unique? Did people all over Ukraine indeed suffer from starvation in 1932 and then start dying en masse in 1933? Which areas of Ukraine were most affected? Was there a north-south divide, as the diary suggests, and, if so, did people suffer (and die) more in the south than in the north? Were there more deaths in the villages than in towns and cities? Were small towns affected? Did ethnicity matter? These are the core questions that Mapa, the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute’s Digital Map of Ukraine Project is attempting to answer by developing a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based Digital Atlas of the Holodomor.

Cox Chair Dr. Tracy Barrett Dr. Dragan Miljkovic Approved: July 10, 2014 Dr. John K. Cox Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Famine spread across the Union of Social Soviet Republics in 1932 and 1933, a deadly though unanticipated consequence of Joseph Stalin’s attempt in 1928 to build socialism in one country through massive industrialization and forced collectivization of agriculture known as the first Five-Year Plan. This study uses published documents, collections, correspondence, memoirs, secondary sources and new insight to analyze the famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine and other Soviet republics. It presents the major scholarly works on the famine, research that often mirrors the diverse views and bitter public disagreement over the issue of intentionality and the ultimate culpability of Soviet leadership. The original contribution of this study is in the analysis of newly published primary documents of the 1920s and 1930s from the Russian Presidential Archives, especially vis-à-vis the role of Stalin and his chief lieutenants at the center of power and the various representatives at the republic-level periphery.

  • Becoming Soviet: Lost Cultural Alternatives In
    BECOMING SOVIET: LOST CULTURAL ALTERNATIVES IN UKRAINE, 1917-1933 Olena Palko, MA, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History December 2016© ‘This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition any quotation or extract must include full attribution.’ Abstract This doctoral thesis investigates the complex and multi-faceted process of the cultural sovietisation of Ukraine. The study argues that different political and cultural projects of a Soviet Ukraine were put to the test during the 1920s. These projects were developed and executed by representatives of two ideological factions within the Communist Party of Bolsheviks of Ukraine: one originating in the pre-war Ukrainian socialist and communist movements, and another with a clear centripetal orientation towards Moscow. The representatives of these two ideological horizons endorsed different approaches to defining Soviet culture. The unified Soviet canon in Ukraine was an amalgamation of at least two different Soviet cultural projects: Soviet Ukrainian culture and Soviet culture in the Ukrainian language. These two visions of Soviet culture are examined through a biographical study of two literary protagonists: the Ukrainian poet Pavlo Tychyna (1891-1967) and the writer Mykola Khvyl'ovyi (1893-1933). Overall, three equally important components, contributing to Ukraine’s sovietisation, are discussed: the power struggle among the Ukrainian communist elites; the manipulation of the tastes and expectations of the audience; and the ideological and aesthetic evolution of Ukraine’s writers in view of the first two components.

  • Valerii Vasyliev. “A Crisis in Relations: Leaders of the USSR
    A CRISIS IN RELATIONS: LEADERS OF THE USSR AND UKRAINIAN SSR DURING THE HOLODOMOR Valerii Vasyliev During the first two decades of the twentieth century, the population of the Russian Empire, and then of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), periodically experienced food shortages. Thus, widespread famine broke out in Ukraine in 1921–22, and the years 1925 and 1928–29 were also marked by famine.1 In the latter half of the 1920s the leadership of the Communist Party, headed by Joseph Stalin, attempted to overcome episodic food shortages in various regions of the USSR by creating large state reserves of grain. These reserves were used for the centralized distribution of grain to industrial centers and the Red Army, as well as for export.2 In 1931, collectivization and dekulakization produced a severe food shortage in the country. On 1 January 1932 state grain reserves, concentrated mainly in the nepfond (untouchable fund) and mobfond (mobilization fund), amounted to 2,033 million tonnes.3 From October 1931, these reserves were managed by a powerful state organization, the Reserve Committee, led by the head of the USSR Gosplan (State Planning Committee), Valerian Kuibyshev, and his deputy, the head of the OGPU (All-Union State Political Administration or secret police), Genrikh Yagoda.4 Since one tonne of grain sufficed to provide a year’s normal bread ration for three people, the available state reserves could adequately supply 12–13 million people with grain until the new harvest of 1932. But the number of people receiving provisions 1 There is a considerable literature on this topic.

Ukrainians Lose Their Farms 5. Ukrainians Lose Their Crops 6. Ukrainians Starve 7. Ukrainians Die from Hunger 8. Soviets Cover-up Ukrainian Starvation 9. Russia Acknowledges the Holodomor When the Soviets denied there was a famine in Ukraine, man-made or natural, a Cardinal from Austria, Theodor Innitzer—who was also the Archbishop of Vienna—began an awareness-raising campaign in the West. This image, by an unnamed photographer, is from the Innitzer Collection. It depicts a Ukrainian woman and child “being kicked out of their home.” To pay for Western technology, as he transforms the Soviet Union into an industrial powerhouse, Stalin will appropriate Ukraine’s farm crops. How will he get the grain from Europe’s breadbasket? By devising and implementing his control in new autocratic ways. Thus begins the collectivization of Soviet farms, including Ukrainian farms. By merely speaking the words—“The State owns your land, your homes, your animals, your fields, your barns, your equipment”—Stalin takes over. On the order of the Soviet leader, supported by his Politburo comrades, Ukrainian farmers will become laborers who work for the State, not for themselves. Farmers will be just like laborers who work in factories. The State will own the land, the equipment, the seeds and everything which formerly belonged to individual farmers and their families. Gone are the days of family ownership. Gone are the days of working for oneself.

The thesis addresses the steps taken by Viktor Yushchenko in Ukraine to promote this identity, constructed in the diaspora, by seeking the recognition of the Holodomor as genocide by Ukraine‘s population, as well as the international community.
