From the Editor
It seems that quite recently – a quarter of a century ago – spears were broken about Lenin. Hero or villain, has he helped or harmed Russia? – not only historians were ready to argue about it in the newspapers, at the table and even at the bus stop. No consensus was reached, but the debates stopped. Now the focus is on Stalin and those phenomena of the 1930s, the very name of which already shows on which side of the barricade the person who mentions them is fighting.
