Khrushchev and the Communist World, Paperback / softback Book

Khrushchev and the Communist World Paperback / softback

Edited by R.F. Miller

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Soviet Foreign Policy series

Paperback / softback

Description

Khrushchev and the Communist World, first published in 1984, reviews the Khrushchev era, when the legacy of the Stalinist past was partly repudiated and the possibilities of reform within the USSR and the countries of the socialist camp were explored.

The lessons derived from this exploration by Bloc leaders and Khrushchev’s successors unhappily led them to conclude that the scope for such reform was extremely limited.

Many of Khrushchev’s reforms and reorganisation measures were indeed rescinded, but the notion had been planted that the naked terror of Stalinist rule and direct, centralised command over other socialist states were no longer feasible.

This book reviews the evidence for this view both in internal terms and also in foreign affairs.
