Nationalism and Communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union: a Basic Contradiction? looks at how Communist theorists and practitioners tried to cope with nationalism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union from the writings of Marx and Engels in the 1840s to the collapse of the Communist bloc and the Soviet Union between 1989 and 1991. By taking a wide-ranging geographical and chronological perspective, the book identifies salient themes and recurrent patterns of behaviour that played a significant part in determining international relations among Communist states and ultimately contributed to the collapse of Communism. New material on the relationship between nationalism and Communism in Czechoslovakia between 1945 and 1948, and in Lithuania in the 1950s and 1960s, is presented in two case-studies. The book concludes by asking what lessons can be learned from the Communist experience with nationalism. [ 收起 ]
