History: History: Russia from Stalin to the Collapse of the Soviet Union
It is sometimes said that Lenin drove the Russian
revolution into a cul-de-sac and Stalin then accelerated
into the wall at the far end.
The course will examine the economic, political and
social changes undertaken by Stalin and enforced by the
Great Terror.
We will then consider how far this modernisation of the
economy enabled the USSR to withstand the Nazi
onslaught from 1941 and why the Soviet Union seemed
unreformable under Stalin’s successors.
We will conclude by looking at Gorbachev’s almost total
failure to achieve the objectives he identified and why,
despite that, he was one of the most laudable leaders of
a troubled century in European affairs
