PREFACE
In this volume Professor Gella provides some much-needed background to what is going on in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in this era of glasnost' and perestrojka. For, the social-historical makeup and sociological parameters of the Eastern bloc continue to influence how the Soviet Union deals with its client statesboth in theory and in practice. Success in these enterprises depends as much on what the Bloc looks like as on what the Bloc is.
Professor Gella undertakes a difficult task when he tries to analyze, in non-Marxist terms, a set of problems that have been thoroughly misanalyzed by innumerable Marxist-Leninist authors. This is done expertly in the case of the notions of 'class', 'intelligentsia', and even the very notion of 'Eastern Europe'. Professor Gella does this by knowledgeably combining the presentation of historical data with sociological analysis that calls on the best available sources. The maps in the appendix provide invaluable aid for the former task, while the bibliography fills the reader in on the latter.
