Andy Zebrowski + Chris Harman: Glasnost – before the storm

39

jun 88

This year already marks a watershed in Russian history.
The crisis facing glasnost and perestroika has led to what Mikhail Gorbachev describes as ‘turmoil in the minds of many peopleworkers, intelligentsia and leading cadres. The panic has reached such a level ...as to question whether perestroika is something destructive, leading to the destabilisation of society.’
But beneath those battling it out in the upper ranks of the bureaucracy much more powerful forces are beginning to stir. Earlier this year the Armenian general strike showed both how dangerous the national question has become for the Russian ruling class and the possibility of the struggle reaching down into the core of the working class.
In this issue’s leading article Chris Harman and Andy Zebrowski chart the growing storm.

This has meant that the initiative in confronting the fascists has always had to come from those to the left of the reformists. In a timely article Chanie Rosenberg recalls not just the fight against the National Front in the 1970s and the struggle against Mosley in the 1930s, but also analyses the response of the French left to the rise of Le Pen.
