Synopsis "russian peasants and soviet power: a study of collectivization"

The collectivization of the peasants in the USSR constituted a social upheaval of a totally unprecedented nature. It was one of the most remarkable events of the present century and it has a history as long as that of Soviet power itself. The idea of a collectivized agriculture, much favoured by the leadership after the revolution, had been left in abeyance during the NEP period. Interest in the idea, and in the collective movement, revived at the time of the 'grain crisis' at the beginning of 1928. It was during this crisis that collectivization of the peasantry and the creation of a powerful kolkhoz and sovkhoz sector began to be taken seriously as a means of solving, at one and the same time, both the formidable problem of grain and the whole 'accursed problem' of relations between the Soviet authorities and the peasants.

Moshe Lewin (1921–2010) fue un destacado historiador marxista y uno de los principales especialistas en Rusia y la Unión Soviética. Nacido en Vilnius (Lituania) en el seno de una familia judía, huyó de la invasión nazi y se refugió en la Unión Soviética, donde trabajó en fábricas y sirvió en el ejército.Tras la guerra, emigró a Israel y posteriormente a Francia, donde comenzó su carrera académica tardíamente, doctorándose en la Sorbona de París. Fue profesor en la Universidad de Pensilvania (Estados Unidos) y vivió sus últimos años en Francia, colaborando habitualmente con Le Monde Diplomatique.Lewin revolucionó la sovietología occidental al alejarse de la visión reduccionista de la Guerra Fría. Su obra se centró en el análisis estructural de la sociedad, las dinámicas burocráticas y el papel del campesinado soviético, demostrando cómo estas bases sociales condicionaron el desarrollo del régimen.Entre sus libros más influyentes destacan El último combate de Lenin y su obra magna, El siglo soviético, en la que abordó la complejidad, el ascenso y el colapso del sistema soviético.
