Stalin’s Master Narrative: a Critical Edition of the Short Course on the History of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks)
New Haven :
Yale University Press, 2019.
Academic editor: Brandenberger D. L., М. Зеленов
The Short Course on the History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) defined Stalinist ideology both at home and abroad. It was quite literally the the master narrative of the USSR—a hegemonic statement on history, politics, and Marxism-Leninism that scripted Soviet society for a generation. This study exposes the enormous role that Stalin played in the development of this all-important text, as well as the unparalleled influence that he wielded over the Soviet historical imagination.

In 1929, Joseph Stalin, having already achieved dictatorial power over the vast Soviet Empire, formally ordered the systematic conversion of the world’s largest peasant economy into “socialist modernity,” otherwise known as collectivization, regardless of the cost.
What it cost, and what Stalin ruthlessly enacted, transformed the country and its ruler in profound and enduring ways. Building ...

В 1930 годы Сталин и его окружение, озабоченные задачей мобилизации советского общества для грядущей войны, организовали пропагандистскую кампанию по "реабилитации" славных деятелей русского национального прошлого.

The USSR is often regarded as the world's first propaganda state. Particularly under Stalin, politically charged rhetoric and imagery dominated the press, schools, and cultural forums from literature and cinema to the fine arts. Yet party propagandists were repeatedly frustrated in their efforts to promote a coherent sense of "Soviet" identity during the interwar years. ...

The product of a decade of intrepid research, Stalin is a landmark achievement.
