'.explains - in clear and lucid terms - why Stalinism is important, and why it is still important today.' Professor Matthew Stibbe, Sheffield Hallam University -- .

'[...] explains - in clear and lucid terms - why Stalinism is important, and why it is still important today.' Professor Matthew Stibbe, Sheffield Hallam University ' [...] Edele is to be commended for his exposition of the intricate, intense debates over the past half-century within Anglo-American academia and more recently within the Soviet successor states, notably Russia and the Ukraine. History Australia '[...] this book presents an excellent overview of some of the conflicts over Stalinism and an incisive analysis of some of the themes within that debate. It is a welcome addition to our literature on this subject.' The Russian Review '[...] His approach to debates among historians about Stalinism is biographical, contains a good deal about their infighting, and seeks to define - and complicate - schools of thought. That he has made a worthy contribution to Manchester University Press' series on Issues of Historiography is a testament to the magnitude of his reading, the sharpness and consistency of his argument, and the unusual politicisation of the subject he has chosen.' Labour History demonstrates that a historiographical essay (a genre many students consider boring) can be interesting reading... excellent medicine against ... [historical amnesia] for all students of Stalinism. IVAN KURILLA European University at St. Petersburg, JSPPS 7:2 (2021) -- .
