| Description |
The twentieth century rise and fall of the form of socialism inspired by Lenin and consolidated by Stalin is undoubtedly one of the most dramatic and important events in human history. Serious study and analysis of these events has not even been started, and it will take several decades to work out a more comprehensive and balanced account of them. The processes in the Soviet republics and Eastern Europe which have compelled our attention since 1989 are very complex and far from being completed, and many facts about these events and the connections between them are still unknown, and will perhaps remain so for years to come. In addition, the many potential outcomes of the Communists' failures are still to be seen, although it is already obvious that by the end of 1989 we had entered into a quite new, and in many ways strikingly different, historical period. Yet we cannot afford to wait several decades before we come to any conclusions about the meaning of these events for present action, and for the future prospects of political development.
