This collection of essays, edited by the distinguished Princeton professor Robert C. Tucker, represents one of the key and most frequently cited academic achievements in the fields of Soviet studies, political theory, and the history of twentieth-century communism. The book emerged from an important international conference held in 1975 in Bellagio, Italy, and brings together texts by leading global experts, historians, and philosophers who, in a collaborative research effort, seek to deeply interpret the phenomenon of Stalinism and its comprehensive impact on society, economics, law, sociology, and literature. Across four thematic blocks, the volume features works by seminal authors such as Leszek Kołakowski, Moshe Lewin, Stephen F. Cohen, Włodzimierz Brus, and the Yugoslav philosopher Mihailo Marković, analyzing the continuity between Bolshevism and Stalinism, the structure of the single-party system, and the perennial dilemma of the relationship between Stalinism and Marxism. This copy is the original 1977 First Edition. The structure of the publication is exceptionally clear and well-organized, containing the author's preface, a comprehensive introductory study by Robert C. Tucker ('Stalinism and Comparative Communism'), a detailed table of contents divided into chapters, biographical notes on the contributors, and an exhaustive index.
