阅读罗伊·亚历山德罗维奇·麦德维杰夫 Roy Medvedev在历史大观的作品!!! | |||
麦德维杰夫是苏联持不同政见运动中的“民主社会主义派”的代表人物之一。他认为十月革命和列宁主义是正确的，但苏联在斯大林时期变成了一个官僚化的社会主义和假社会主义的变种；他尖锐地批判斯大林时期的种种“病态”，但又认为应肯定这一时期苏联人民在建设社会主义方面所取得的伟大胜利。麦德维杰夫称自己是马列主义者，拥护社会主义，主张发扬和扩大党内民主，恢复列宁主义的本来面目，这与其他持不同政见者有很大的不同。他的主要著作有：《让历史来审判》、《政治日记》、《赫鲁晓夫执政年代》、《布哈林的最后岁月》、《论社会主义民主》、《斯大林和斯大林主义》等。
Early life and educationRoy Medvedev was the son of a Aleksander Romanovich Medvedev, professor of Military-Political Academy and has an identical twin brother, the biologist Zhores Medvedev. Their father was arrested in 1938, during one of Joseph Stalin's purges, and died in a labor camp in 1941.
Medvedev graduated from the Leningrad University. After joining the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1956 Medvedev pursued a teaching career before becoming a researcher in the Soviet Academy of Pedagogical Sciences.
Dissident historianFrom an allegedly Marxist viewpoint, Medvedev criticized former Russian General Secretary Joseph Stalin, and Stalinism in general, during the Soviet era. In the early 1960s, Medvedev was engaged in samizdat publications. He was critical of the unscientific nature of Lysenkoism.
In 1969, Medvedev was expelled from the Communist Party after the publication of his book Let History Judge, which criticized Stalin and Stalinism at a time when official Soviet propagandists were trying to partially rehabilitate the former dictator. Let History Judge reflected the dissident thinking that emerged in the 1960s among Soviet intellectuals who, like Medvedev, sought a reformed, democratic socialism and a return to Leninism. He announced his position, along with Andrei Sakharov and others, in an open letter to the Soviet leadership in 1970.
Medvedev was often subject to house arrest and KGB harassment under Leonid Brezhnev, but managed to publish numerous critical writings on Soviet history and politics abroad. Medvedev was oppressed for his active support of democracy after he successfully published Let History Judge abroad in the late 1960s.
In a book co-authored with his identical twin brother, Zhores, A Question of Madness, Medvedev describes Zhores' involuntary commitment in the Kaluga Psychiatric Hospital. Zhores, a dissident biologist, was questioned at the Kaluga psychiatric facilities about his involvement with samizdat, and about the book he had written, The Rise and Fall of T.D. Lysenko; Zhores was exiled to Britain in the 1970s.
Medvedev returned to the ruling party in 1989, after Mikhail Gorbachev launched his perestroika and glasnost program of gradual political and economic reforms. He was elected to the Soviet Union's Congress of People's Deputies and was named as member of the Supreme Soviet, the permanent working body of the Congress. After the collapse of the Soviet government, Medvedev joined with dozens of other former communist deputies of the Soviet and Russian parliaments to found the Socialist Party of Working People, becoming a co-chair of the party.
Medvedev supports the current President of Russia and former Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
