A synthesis of the defining elements of Stalin's thought
Compiled and arranged thematically, Quotes from Stalin collects fragments of both the texts and speeches made by Joseph Stalin, who was general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1952. After his death in 1953 and with the crimes that were attributed to him as a backdrop, his work was silenced and all traces of his legacy were erased. This compilation, prepared by Dr. Borja García Vázquez, rescues the essentials of his ideas from oblivion in order to, in this way, be able to assess the historical figure who directed the course of the Soviet State, and his influence on the foundations and future of that important period of communism.

Furthermore, this edition is complemented by a brilliant afterword by Slavoj Žižek, Stalinism Revisited, or How Stalin Saved Man's Humanity, where he makes an attractive reflection on Stalinist language.
