β¦ Synopsis
How did it happen, how could it have been that the party of revolu-
tion which was to lead toward the liberation of man, toward a classless
society, gradually sank into the mire of a totalitarian regime? Was
Leninism responsible for Stalinism? Did Stalin continue what Lenin
left off? It was to answer such questions that Alfred Rosmer set out
to write Moscou Sous Lenine. Convinced that the past determines the
present, that "in order to move forward one must find one's road of
yesterday," Rosmer went back to the years 1920-1924, and retraced
the events of the immediate post-revolutionary period of which he
was one of the close witnesses.
