Abstract
Abstract Soviet historiography has entered into a phase of revisionism and rediscovery. No topic or issue is sacrosanct, and a wide range of viewpoints can be discerned in the pages of the scholarly and popular periodical press. In both respects, historical revisionism under Gorbachev has advanced beyond the revisionism of the Khrushchev era. Although the range of topics and diversity of viewpoints distinguish the revisionism of today from that of the Khrushchev period, many of the major issues remain the same. And no issue is more important and controversial than that of Stalinism. Whereas the earlier revisionists never went beyond facile descriptive models centered around the cult of personality in their attempts to explain Stalinism, Soviet revisionists today have begun to approach the issue in a much more sophisticated and complex fashion.
