Everything about Neo-stalinism totally explained
Neo-Stalinism is a term used to describe
historical revisionism in favor of
Stalinism and/or
Joseph Stalin. In the
Marxist-Leninist movement, neo-Stalinism is associated with
anti-revisionists.
In February
1956,
Soviet leader
Nikita Khrushchev denounced the
cult of personality that surrounded his predecessor, Joseph Stalin, and condemned crimes committed during the
Great Purge.
In October
1964, Khrushchev was replaced by
Leonid Brezhnev, who remained in office until his death in November
1982. During his reign, the truth about Stalinism was suppressed, leading to the exile of many
dissidents, most notably
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. According to
Alexander Dubček, "The advent of Brezhnev’s regime heralded the advent of neo-Stalinism, and the measures taken against Czechoslovakia in 1968 were the final consolidation of the neo-Stalinist forces in the Soviet Union, Poland, Hungary, and other countries."
Mikhail Gorbachev took over in March
1985. He introduced the policy of
glasnost (openness) in public discussions – in order to
liberalize the Soviet system. The full scale of Stalinist repressions was soon revealed, and the Soviet Union fell apart. Still, Gorbachev admitted in
2000 that "Even now in Russia we've the same problem. It isn't so easy to give up the inheritance we received from Stalinism and Neo-Stalinism, when people were turned into cogs in the wheel, and those in power made all the decisions for them." .
