  The ‘Russian Question’ was an absolutely central problem for Marxism
  in the twentieth century. Numerous attempts were made to understand the
  nature of Soviet society. The present book tries to portray the
  development of these theoretical contributions since 1917 in a
  coherent, comprehensive appraisal. It aims to present the development
  of the Western Marxist critique of the Soviet Union across a rather
  long period in history (from 1917 to the present) and in a large region
  (Western Europe and North America). Within this demarcation of limits
  in time and space, an effort has been made to ensure completeness, by
  paying attention to all Marxist analyses which in some way
  significantly deviated from or added to the older theories.

  Marcel van der Linden (1952) is Research Director of the International
  Institute of Social History and Professor in the History of Social
  Movements at the University of Amsterdam.
