| Summary: | The article deals with the 1938 treatise History of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), abbreviated AUCP(b) – an official treatise from the Stalin era of the USSR which was published on a mass scale. The author puts his reflections in two contexts: 1. the internal Marxist dispute over “orthodoxy”, which Stalin resolved by publishing (and co-authoring) this “canonical book”, and 2. the myth-forming context, which shows how totalitarian regimes present themselves with their “canonical books”. He considers publications preceding the analyzed book, which after Lenin’s death included texts by Grigory Zinoviev, Nikolai Bukharin and Leon Trotsky. Then he considers the actual book, focusing in more detail on the absence of two topics and concepts – the state and culture. He pays particular attention to the chapter on dialectic and historical materialism written by Stalin, which completes the simplistic interpretations in the so-called Stalinist Marxism. Like L. Kołakowski, he concludes that the entire Stalinist concept is naturalistic (meaning the naive naturalism of the late 19th century: Marxism guarantees a “scientific world view”) and naively nomothetic (all fundamental claims have the form of unquestionable laws). |
