It provides context for current events, including the resurgence of Stalinism in Russia and Putin's use of elements of the Stalin cult in Russia. It also explains the history of Leninist revolutionary terms that have been in recent use in the United States, especially "enemies of the people." 4. Author Andrew Sobanet is associate editor of the Journal of Contemporary French Civilization, is an editorial board member of the Contemporary French and Francophone Studies journal, and was until recently chair of the Department of French and Francophone Studies at Georgetown University.
