Text of Note

Product Description: In the years since Stalin's death, his profound influence upon the historical development of Communism has remained elusive and in need of interpretation. Stalinism, as his system has become known, is a phenomenon that embraced all facets of political and social life. While its effect upon Russia and other nations today is far less than it was while Stalin lived, it is by no means dead.
