Abstract

Williams, W. A. | July 11, 1953 issue

add to cart   close window

Stalin's death and the subsequent changes in the internal and foreign policies of the Soviet Union have provoked a huge quantity of opinion and interpretation in the Western world. Through it, all has run the view that American policy is responsible for most if not all of these developments. Closer examination of this view, however, may reveal that the facile equation of containment with developments in the Soviet Union is not so valid as it appears at first glance. Stalin was a temporary failure to restrain the more powerful, capable, and ambitious of the non-Russian Communist leaders who operated in valid revolutionary situations.
