Stalin – A Biography (Re-Examining Stalin – Learning from Past – Taking the Right Path) By Dai Longbin (戴隆斌)! [20.8.2025]

From the Description:

This book is a rigorous yet accessible biography of Stalin, comprehensively describing the important events in the life of this early Soviet leader. Stalin was a prominent figure in the first half of the 20th century, having a profound influence on the development of the Soviet Union, the socialist revolution and construction in many other countries, and even on world history as a whole.

Deprived of his father’s love at a young age, Stalin developed a distinctly rebellious character, a daring spirit of adventure, and a willingness to fight—key factors in his subsequent development as a staunch Marxist and Lenin’s successor. His personality enabled him to make tremendous historical contributions to Soviet governance, the Communist Party, and the military, leaving behind both glory and retribution. He was a historical giant, both charismatic and discerning.

The author of this book, a senior expert at the Central Compilation and Translation Bureau, has extensively researched Soviet history, the Stalin Model, and contemporary Russian issues. He strives to use the latest materials and perspectives to objectively and impartially present Stalin’s life, restoring the true face of this great historical figure. The extensive selection of historical images enriches the book’s content, making it both highly informative and readable.

斯大林传(重读斯大林,吸取前车之鉴,走正确发展之路)

戴隆斌

本书是一部既严谨又通俗的斯大林传记,全方位描述了斯大林这位苏联早期领导人一生的重要活动。
斯大林是20世纪上半叶的风云人物,他对苏联的建设,对很多国家的社会主义革命、建设乃至整个世界历史,都有巨大影响。

斯大林从小失去父爱,具有鲜明的较为叛逆的性格,以及敢于冒险、勇于斗争的个性,这是他此后成为一个坚定的马克思主义者和列宁继承人的重要条件。他的个性,使他在苏联治国、治党、治军方面做出了巨大的历史功绩,留下过辉煌,但也带来了苦难。他是一个不乏魅力而又极富争议的历史巨人。

本书作者为中央编译局资深专家,长期研究苏联史、斯大林模式、当代俄罗斯问题,力求用最新的材料和观点,客观公正地展现斯大林的一生,还历史及历史人物以本来的面目。书中所选大量的历史图片,丰富了作品的内容,具有很强的史料性、资料性和可读性。
