Resumen
Joseph Stalins twenty-five year dictatorship is without doubt one of the most controversial periods in the history of the Soviet Union. Stalin and Stalinism examines Stalins ambiguous personal and political legacy, his achievements, and his crimes - all now the subject of major reappraisal both in the West and in the former Soviet Union. The second edition of this best-selling work is fully updated to take in new historical debates and historiographical controversies which have emerged since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and reflects on the ways in which Stalins legacy still affects attitudes in and towards post-Soviet Russia.
