Maggiori informazioni sul libro
There were times when renowned statesmen and intellectuals viewed Stalin and his country with respect and admiration. However, with the onset of the Cold War and Khrushchev's secret speech, Stalin became perceived as a 'monster,' comparable only to Hitler. Domenico Losurdo examines the conflicts and interests underlying this dramatic shift in perspective. He uses the stark contrast in images of Stalin as a starting point to critically analyze all representations rather than absolutizing one. To achieve this, he explores Soviet history through a comprehensive comparison of the tragedies of the 20th century, demystifying Stalin and placing many of the accusations against him in their historical context.
