It's obvious that revisionism did occur within the Soviet state, however as someone who has never properly studied the USSR I'm not sure exactly what the changes in policy were. I know more about China, which took a differant course. This really is something I should know, and yes there are a few good books on the subject however I'm reading some other things and do not intend to study the USSR in detail quite yet. Just want to know the basic happenings.
So please could a fellow anti-revisionist outline for me, in clear and not-too-long points, the exact changes in policy and practice that set the USSR on a revisionist path under Khruschev. Particularly, please explain the changes in the economy, state structure, and foreign policy (ie, what made the USSR imperialist ? Was it the Specialisation policy ? I think there must have something more than that to consider it imperialist. I'm still not sure whether it could be called imperialism, or if it could then how Stalin was qualitatively differant. So please explain the specific objective changes that occured.)
Thanks
and ps, don't post links to huge documents etc, I just wanna see a few short points !
