Before Stalinism is a historical study of democratic life and institutions and their decline in the early years of the Russian Revolution. While attempting to synthesize a wealth of available historical material, the author assesses the extent to which the disappearance of Soviet democracy was due to objective circumstances, for example the impact of the Civil War, and the extent to which it was the result of Bolshevik politics and ideology. The author shows how there were, contrary to later Stalinist and Cold War mythologies, significant disputes within the pre-Stalinist Bolshevik camp about the preservation of the substantial democratic elements of the October upheaval.

Before Stalinism
Anyone with the slightest understanding of political issues will know that ideas are one thing - implementing them is another. If the objective conditions or the social base giving rise to such ideas are undeveloped or destroyed, all the good intentions in the world will prove fruitless.
So far, this book is providing an excellent source for anyone looking to chart the gradual erosion of soviet democracy after 1917. It will also provide a nasty surprise for simplistic pro-capitalist theorists that the Bolshevik party was not made up of cackling evil madmen, but that the process of degeneration affected soviet society as a whole, as opposed to stemming from the political machinations of a few "evil" men.
