This book further discusses Bienkowskis role as a minister in the period following Stalins death, when Bienkowski was a leading revisionist, warning of the dangers of the petrification of the system, and explains how with a sense of shattered hopes he resigned from power and became a dissident, publicly critical of the regime. This book concludes by examining Bienkowskis writings in late communist times when, now just an observer, he continued to reflect on and write about the future of socialism. Overall, the book demonstrates to what extent communism in Eastern Europe was flexible and adaptable and not rigidly monolithic as it is often portrayed.</p><p>The book will be of interest to academics and scholars interested in the history of communism and Europe.</p>...7157388The Development Trajectory of Communism in Poland11691169https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-development-trajectory-of-communism-in-poland-9781040386125/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7160209/image.jpg?v=638837144469530000InStockMXN99999PR_DIEbook2025Inglés
