The Collected Works of Stalin Volume 7 covers the year 1925, a pivotal year in which important decisions and progress were made towards the development of socialist industrialization, in the face of capitalist encirclement. This year was also important in establishing Stalin's vision for the country, in the face of various forms of opposition. Arguing against forms of Trotskyism and Zinovievism, which are characterized as "defeatist", the decision to focus on industrial development was ratified at The Fourteenth Congress of the Bolshevik Party, which took place towards the end of the year.
Other questions regarding the character of the Soviet Union's development path are also covered in this collection; the relationship between the working class and the peasantry; international women's day; the role of youth movements; international relations; propaganda; among others. This collection also contains considerations on the situation and tasks of Communist Parties around the world, under the conditions of the post-WW1 partial stabilization of capitalism. "The Political Tasks of the University of the Peoples of the East" in particular contains much that is of interest regarding the international communist and decolonizing movements of the 20th century.
The critical republication of Stalin's Works serves activists, scholars, and those interested in history of the communist movement-with lessons for contemporary application, as well as the dispelling of historical falsities. Volume 7 goes deeper on questions of what development of a socialist project actually means in the real world, which must be of interest to all those who seek to move history forward.
