| Abstract |
"This book argues that Stalin chose Writers' Union leaders, such as Maxim Gorky and Alexandr Fadeyev, whose psychologies he could exploit. He ensured their loyalty with material benefits but also with a philosophical argument calculated to assuage their moral qualms about supporting the regime"-- Provided by publisher. |
