PREFACE This book is not written to make out a case, but to set forth what appear to be the significant facts. It is offered on the theory that intelhgent people are tired of being victims of propaganda about Russia and will welcome a book that is not trying to give their minds a certain twist. I can truthfully aver that when I set pen to paper I had no rigid mental attitudes toward the phases of the Russian revolution, so that such interpretations as I venture on have come out of my study of the facts themselves.

  • Ideological and Real Socialism of My Soviet Childhood, Schooling, and Teaching: Multi-Consciousness1
    ISSN: 2325-3290 (online) Ideological and real socialism of my Soviet childhood, schooling, and teaching: Multi-consciousness1 Eugene Matusov University of Delaware, USA Abstract Through my autobiographical reflective ethnography of my Soviet childhood, schooling and teaching, I try to investigate the phenomenon of political multiple consciousness that I observed in the USSR and its development in children. In my analysis, I abstracted eight diverse types of consciousness, five of which are political in their nature. Eugene Matusov is a Professor of Education at the University of Delaware. He studied developmental psychology with Soviet researchers working in the Vygotskian paradigm and worked as a schoolteacher before immigrating to the United States. He uses sociocultural and Bakhtinian dialogic approaches to education. His recent books are: Matusov, E. (2017). Nikolai N. Konstantinov’s authorial math pedagogy for people with wings, Matusov, E. & Brobst, J. (2013). Radical experiment in dialogic pedagogy in higher education and its Centauric failure: Chronotopic analysis, and Matusov, E. (2009). Journey into dialogic pedagogy. Introduction Famous Soviet comedian Mikhail Zhvanetsky commented in one of his 1970s monologue that it was very difficult to learn what exactly a Soviet person thought on any issue. He suspected that the answer could be given only through a physiological examination of the person’s body, “A person who says ‘yes’ undergoes a careful examination to check if behind this ‘yes’ is lurking hidden ‘no’. The exact answer can be achieved only by a urine test, which is very difficult to obtain from the person” (Zhvanetsky, 2001, p. 175, translation from Russian is mine). For the purpose of this investigation, I define a type of political consciousness heuristically as somewhat consistent subjectivity.

    Lenin, Elections & Socialist Hegemony 1 Lenin, Elections & Socialist Hegemony Seán Mitchell Lenin, Elections and Socialist Hegemony © Seán Mitchell First published by Rebel, Dublin 2021 www.rebelnews.ie [email protected] Typeset by Rebel Cover design by Danny Quinn “The election of someone...is a matter of such vast importance that it would be petty, cowardly and disgraceful to be afraid to speak of it straightforwardly, without beating about the bush, to be afraid of “offending” a particular individual, a particular circle, etc.” — Lenin, October 16, 1912. Contents Introduction 1 Boycott or Participation? 10 Elections & Hegemony 24 Left Bloc or Progressive Bloc? 36 Bolshevik Elections in Practice 48 Elections and the Comintern 62 Conclusion 74 Lenin, Elections & Socialist Hegemony 1. Introduction e are now ‘up to the ears’ in the elections,” wrote a fatigued “WLenin to the renowned novelist Maxim Gorky in 1912, as he busied himself with preparations for the Bolshevik campaign for the Fourth Duma. “[T]he building up of the Party”, Lenin explained with characteristic bluntness, “[v]ery much depends on the outcome of the elections.”1 The image elicited in this brief exchange—of a hurried Lenin, embroiled in the finer detail of electoralism, convinced that the future of Bolshevism depended on it—may seem like a peculiar one, at odds with common perceptions of the leader of the October Revolution. At the very least, such a picture sits awkwardly alongside the well-worn Cold War caricature of the authoritarian Lenin, whose “mistrust of the masses” led him to conclude that all exercises in democracy were tiresome impediments to the fulfilment of a pathological lust for power.2 The credibility of this smear was long ago demolished,3 even if it lives on as a stock cliché amongst conservative historians and anti-socialist elements deeply embedded in establishment politics or the ivory towers of academia.
