This book, by Ted Grant and with a preface by Trotsky's
grandson Esteban Volkov,
covers the key developments
in Russia since the Revolution right up to the present day. It
traces the elimination of
workers' democracy, the rise of Stalinism, the advances of
planned economy and the
eventual collapse of the bureaucratic system under
Gorbachev. Using the method of Marxism,
Ted Grant uncovers the contradictory developments that
have shaped the Soviet Union over
the last 70 years and finally led to its downfall. He also
deals in detail with the
present situation in Russia under Yeltsin and assesses the
possibilities for a successful
restoration of capitalism. Not since the publication of
Trotsky's book "The
Revolution Betrayed" in 1936 has such a detailed and
comprehensive Marxist study of
Russia been undertaken. If you want more info about the
