Book excerpt: This volume is the product of an international conference held in the autumn of 1988, around the time Nikolai Bukharin was officially rehabilitated - a benchmark in the history of glasnost and the process of legitimating perestroika.

Book Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin

Download or read book Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin written by Nicholas Kozlov and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-03-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the Russian and Western press now recognize the importance of Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin as a Soviet historical figure. Fifty years after his execution in Stalinist Russia, Bukharin has been rehabilated by the Communist Party and invoked as the intellectual antecedent of Gorbachev. Challenging this view, contributors to this volume reevaluate the intellectual and political legacy of this Bolshevik revolutionary. They cover aspects of his thoughts and activities previously left unexplored or misinterpreted. They conclude that Bukharin's legacy is easily distorted when he is torn from his own political and historical context and appropriated for contemporary political movements. Contributors to this Centenary Appraisal reexamine issues central to Bukharin's intellectual and political legacy: the social, economic, and political forms needed for transition from capitalism to socialism; the nature of the modern capitalist state; and the meaning of imperialism as a stage in the development of capitalist world economy. Also covered are his activities in the Communist International and his work in the history, philosophy, and politics of science.

Book Nikolai Bukharin and the Transition from Capitalism to Socialism

Download or read book Nikolai Bukharin and the Transition from Capitalism to Socialism written by Michael Haynes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985. Although Bukharin wrote against the background of the Russian Revolution, the very change in political climate is always relevant. How exactly is the transition from capitalism to socialism conceived and achieved? Michael Haynes' study shows that the theoretical applicability of Bukharin’s ideas is still far from exhausted, and he provides a clear exposition of his main themes which does not shirk criticism. There can be no better introduction to the thought of this important theorist.

Book The ABC of Communism

Download or read book The ABC of Communism written by Nikolai Bukharin and published by Pattern Books. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ABC of Communism is a book written by Nikolai Bukharin and Evgenii Preobrazhensky in 1919, during the Russian Civil War. Originally written to convince the proletariat of Russia to support the Bolsheviks, it became "an elementary textbook of communist knowledge". It became the best known and most widely circulated of all pre-Stalinist expositions of Bolshevism and the most widely read political work in Soviet Russia. Long out of print, and often only being available with the abridged first few chapters, this version includes completed new transcriptions of the last eight chapters along with the Programme of the Communist Party of Russia, a glossary, and a new word index. The ABC of Communism is written to be a systematic description of communism and the proletarian condition under capitalism, away from the reality of Soviet life, into a redirection towards a militant optimism on the horizon. This book in the Radical Reprint series from Pattern Books is made to be accessible and as close to manufacturing cost as possible.

Book How It All Began The Prison Novel

Download or read book How It All Began The Prison Novel written by Bukharin Nikolai and published by . This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here at last in English is Nikolai Bukharin s autobiographical novel and final work. Many dissident texts of the Stalin era were saved by chance, by bravery, or by cunning; others were systematically destroyed. Bukharin s work, however, was simultaneously preserved and suppressed within Stalin s personal archives. At once novel, memoir, political apology, and historical document, How It All Began, known in Russia as the prison novel, adds greatly to our understanding of this vital intellectual and maligned historical figure. The panoramic story, composed under the worst circumstances, traces the transformation of a sensitive young man into a fiery agitator and presents a revealing new perspective on the background and causes of revolution that transformed the twentieth century. Among the millions of victims of the reign of terror in the Soviet Union of the 1930s, Bukharin stands out as a special case. Not yet thirty when the Bolsheviks took power, he was one of the youngest, most popular, and most intellectual members of the Communist Party. In the 1920s and 30s, he defined Lenin s liberal New Economic Policy, claiming that Stalin s policies of forced industrialization constituted a military-feudal exploitation of the masses. He also warned of the approaching tide of European fascism and its threat to the new Bolshevik revolution. For his opposition, Bukharin paid with his freedom and his life. He was arrested and spent a year in prison. In one of the most infamous show trails of the time. Bukharin confessed to being a counter-revolutionary while denying any crime. He was executed in his prison cell on March 1, 1938. While in prison, Bukharin wrote four books, of which this unfinished novel was the last. It traces the development of Nikolai Kolya Petrov (closely modelle on Nikolai Kolya Bukharin) from his early childhood to age fifteen. In lyrical and poetic terms, it paints a picture of Nikolai s growing political consciousness and ends with his activism on the eve of the failed 1905 revolution. The novel is presented here along with the only surviving letter from Bukharin to his wife during his time in prison, an epistle filled with fear, longing, and hope for his family and his nation. The introduction by Stephen F. Cohen articulates Bukharin s significance in Soviet history and reveals the troubled journey of his novel from Stalin s archives into the light of day. Nikolai Bukharin (1888 1938) was a Bolshevik intellectual and revolutionary, as well as the author of more than a hundred articles and books. Executed as a counter-revolutionary , he was exonerated fifty years later by Mikhail Gorbachev. Stephen F. Cohen is professor of Politics and Russian Studies at Princeton University. His books include Bukharin and the Bolshevik Revolution: A Political Biography, 1888 1938 and Rethinking the Soviet Experience: Politics and History Since 1917. George Shriver has translated and edited Roy Medvedev s On Soviet Dissent and The October Revolution, as well as his Let History Judge.

Book The Prison Poems of Nikolai Bukharin

Download or read book The Prison Poems of Nikolai Bukharin written by Nikolai Bukharin and published by Prison Manuscripts. This book was released on 2018-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nikolai Bukharin (1888-1938), an original Bolshevik leader and a founder of the Soviet state, spent the last year of his life imprisoned by Stalin, awaiting a trial and eventual execution. Remarkably during that time, from March 1937 to March 1938, Bukharin wrote four book-length manuscripts by hand in his prison cell. Seventy years later, The Prison Poems is the last of the four prison manuscripts, which include How It All Began: The Prison Novel and Socialism and Its Culture, to be published, allowing readers to grasp Bukharin's vision in its full extent. Bukharin organized the nearly 180 poems in this volume, written from June to November 1937, into several series. One dealing with forerunners to the 1917 Russian Revolution and another focusing on the Russian Civil War contain commentary not found in the other prison manuscripts. The same is true of the "Lyrical Intermezzo" poems for and about Anna Larina, his young wife, from whom he was separated by his imprisonment. This first English translation of Bukharin's Prison Poems is a compelling read, evidencing the powerful intersection of politics and art.
