| Zusammenfassung: |
The political system -- Social and economic transformation -- Terror -- Communists killing one another -- Education and culture -- Hungary and the death of Stalin -- The new course -- Counter reforms -- Twentieth Party Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union -- The summer of 1956 -- Revolution in the air -- Twelve days of freedom "Before the Uprising examines the specific social, economic, political, and intellectual characteristics of a totalitarian country. Throughout the volume, Peter Kenez questions what the necessary components of totalitarianism are: whether it is a complete state control of the economy, a personality cult of the leader, or a specific type of propaganda organization. By describing the totalitarianism of the past, this volume shows what we can learn for the present, and what to expect from the emerging autocracies of the future. |
