Description

Explore the long history of communist thought with Boundaries of Utopia - Imagining Communism from Plato to Stalin. Part of the Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series, this book examines the evolution of socialist ideas and the pursuit of a perfect society. The text investigates the tension between universalist ideology and the practical application of socialism within a single nation. It tracks how these concepts changed over time, specifically looking at the debates that preceded the 1925 Soviet doctrine of socialism in one country. Readers will learn about the influential roles played by figures like Stalin and Bukharin in formulating official policy. By tracing these ideas from the philosophical foundations of Plato through to the political shifts in the Soviet Union, this book provides a deep look at the development of communist utopia. It is an essential resource for those interested in political history, the origins of Soviet policy, and the theoretical debates that shaped modern history.
