[Edited Message Follows] Hari notes that the first volume of Stephen Kotkin's biographies on Stalin has been removed from archive dot org. However it can be downloaded via LibGen ( http://library.lol/main/1102789B517A4BEFD59259A832F7808C ). His third and final volume should be published in mid-July 2025. An audio version will comprise 24 CD's! https://www.blackstonelibrary.com/stalin-volume-iii?sp=412295.
I see that Bill Bland's piece , cites this valuable compilation. In the videos of Caleb Maupin, ( https://www.youtube.com/@CalebMaupinTV/videos ) I see it in his book shelves, heh. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Against Trotskyism: The Struggle of Lenin and the CPSU Against Trotskyism: A Collection of Documents ( https://archive.org/details/againsttrotskyis0000unse/mode/2up ) On this question, btw, https://www.peacelandbread.org/post/on-the-problem-of-trotskyism , appears to be far more worth perusing than https://fightbacknews.org/articles/against-trotskyism-trotsky-and-soviet-union , replied to @ https://socialism.com/fs-article/reviving-stalins-big-lie-in-against-trotskyism/. https://espressostalinist.com/marxism-leninism-versus-revisionism/trotskyism/ , quotes Gramsci on Trotsky : “Trotsky is the puttana of fascism.” A quote I first saw @ https://www.revolutionarydemocracy.org/rdv20n2/Gramsci1.htm ," Togliatti writes that in 1930, when Gramsci learns that a comrade, imprisoned as he is, is tempted to fall under Trotskyist influence, without being able to carry out a long discussion, launches “in the prisons the significant slogan: ‘Trotsky is the whore of fascism’.” 22 ( https://www.revolutionarydemocracy.org/rdv20n2/Gramsci1.htm#22 ) "Gramsci’s writings were then produced by publishing houses controlled by the PCI, after Togliatti had taken steps to erase from them any elements that did not suit the needs of the Stalinists. Real falsifications were introduced, so much so that the phrase “Trotsky is the whore of fascism”, attributed by Togliatti to Gramsci, actually belonged to Togliatti himself." https://www.socialistalternative.org/2021/02/07/the-revolutionary-legacy-of-antonio-gramsci/ ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ****************** Stalin, Volume III ****************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
