Synopsis
In 1917 workers and peasants of Russia were the motor force for one of the deepest revolutions in history. Yet within ten years a political counterrevolution by a privileged social layer whose chief spokesperson was Joseph Stalin was being consolidated. This classic study of the Soviet workers state and the degeneration of the revolution illuminates the roots of the disintegration of the Soviet bureaucracy and sharpening conflicts in and among the former republics of the USSR.
Appendix: Socialism in one country.

“What gives to The Revolution Betrayed its weight as a document of its time is the masterly critical panorama of Stalinist society during its early and middle periods which Leon Trotsky drew here.” —New Statesman

Leon Trotsky (1879–1940) was part of the central leadership forged by Bolshevik party leader V.I.

He continued that struggle from exile after being deported in 1929. Trotsky was murdered in Mexico in 1940 by Stalin’s secret police.
