How to explain theoretically? Major debates –statist vs. neo-liberal

Origins of Soviet System Lenin, Bolshevik Party Slogan: “Peace, Land, and Bread” Appeals to –Soldiers –Workers –peasants

Goals of Soviet System Massive economic transformation –Rapid industrialization for national defense Massive ideological transformation

Ideological Transformation: Totalitarianism Charismatic leader –Stalin (Gen Sec ) Single dominant party –CPSU (Communist Party of Soviet Union) “vanguard party” “democratic centralism” Utopian, forward-looking ideology –Marxism-Leninism State control over all organized activity –“nomenklatura” list of positions—appointment controlled by party Arbitrary terror

TotalitarianismAuthoritarianism charismatic leader  more routinized succession single dominant party  single dominant party utopian, forward-looking ideology  economic performance/nationalism state control over all  emergence of non-political private organized activitysphere arbitrary terror  end of arbitrary terror, but no overt challenge to regime allowed mass mobilization  apathy okay

Economic Transformation: Planned Economy Contrast market and planned economies Contrast Japan and Soviet Union Key features of planned economy –Planners’ preferences (not consumers’ pref’s)  Heavy industry with defense applications –State ownership (no private) Factories Farms –State-set prices (no free market forces)

Planned Economy How did the Soviet economy affect the average citizen? –No consumer choice –No chance to get rich, little socio-economic advancement –But Security Relatively egalitarian Basic needs met  Important to understanding public reaction to “shock therapy”
