What is CHAPTER 2 Russian and Western European Roots of Soviet Totalitarianism about?

Russian and Western European Roots of Soviet Totalitarianism e A discussion of the Russian and Western European roots of Soviet totalitarianism belongs simultaneously to several wider and overlapping areas of thought and historical research. One of these areas concerns the features and components of the Soviet regime; another, the remote causes or the antecedents of the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917; yet another is an extension of the classic and perennial topic "Russia and the West" with its concomitant-and no less important-meaning of "the West in Russia." This essay cannot explore these numerous and multifaceted issues; its more limited and circumscribed purpose is to analyze and summarize the main features of the historical conditions obtaining in Russia before 1917 that may have had-or are believed to have had-some infl uence upon, or connection with, the subsequent evolution of Russia and the shaping of the Soviet regime. The conventional and widespread treatment of the Russian and Western historical roots of this regime would usually proceed, with minor variations, along the following line of argument.
