The Bolshevik Tradition by Robert Hatch McNeal Pdf
Concise introduction to the politics of 20th century Russia, Lenin, Stalin and Khrushchev, what they stand for, where they came from, and what they said.
Excerpt from The Bolshevik Tradition: Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev In 1952 the all-union Communist Party (of Bolsheviks) changed its name to Communist Party of the Soviet Union, just about half a century after the designation Bolshevik had come into use Nonetheless, the term remains serviceable today as an alternative to Russian Communist, partly because there is no equally handy label, partly because the claim of lineal descent from the first Bolshevik, Lenin, was never more ardently stressed than at present. Moreover, the name Bolshevik probably evokes a more vivid image in both friend and foe of the movement Lenin set on foot. This is a book about the Bolsheviks, not about Communists or Marxists in general; it is an attempt to interpret the history of Bolshevism. It is not, however, a general history of the Bolshevik Party, much less of twentieth century Russia. Rather it traces the tradition or continuing theme of the party through the careers of three principal protagonists: Lenin, Stalin, and Khrushchev. The essay does not pretend to literal chronological balance; the twenty-three years of Stalin's personal ascend ancy are treated as a comprehensible phase of the evolution of the Bolshe vik tradition, as are the eight months of the Revolution of 1917. Such an approach has its limitations, but it follows from the Bolshevik View that their party is always characterized by a unique degree of unity and con tinuity. This approach is also consistent with an axiom of Bolshevism that the party has not usually acknowledged; the party depends upon the leadership of an individual dictator.
