"Joseph Stalin's 25-year dictatorship is without doubt one of the most controversial phenomena in the history of the Soviet Union. Stalin and Stalinism examines Stalin's 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 pamphlet has been fully updated to take account of the new debates and controversies that have emerged since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and considers the ways in which Stalin's legacy still affects attitudes in and towards post-Soviet Russia."--Jacket.
