Østeuropa: Andreja Živkovic: Eastern Europe's exposure to crisis
Socialist Worker nr. 2184, jan 10 – side 13
Note: The global recession has devastated the former Stalinist countries of Eastern Europe. Andreja Živkovic looks at the nature of these economies and the roots of their problems.; Mike Haynes: Eastern Europe: a return to crisis
Socialist Worker nr. 2138, feb 09 – side 8
Note: Twenty years after the 1989 revolutions Mike Haynes looks at the recession and revolts shaking eastern Europe today; Mike Haynes: Class and crisis – the transition in Eastern Europe
International Socialism Journal nr. 54, mar 92 – side 45
Note: Bush's problem is, in part, that the New World Order of free market prosperity which he so loudly proclaimed is turning into a disaster-and nowhere more so than in eastern Europe. Mike Haynes' `Class and crisis' uses original material to present a comprehensive analysis of how the market has already failed the ordinary people of eastern Europe. He concludes by looking at how the growing threat of nationalism and fascism can be met by socialist politics.; Chris Harman: The storm breaks
International Socialism Journal nr. 46, mar 90 – side 3
Note: The world seems to have shifted on its axis in the last six months. The Stalinist regimes in Eastern Europe have been blown away by a great hurricane of popular protest which is now battering at the walls of the Kremlin itself. And South Africa is also in the midst of great changes. In two articles written in January this year we provide a Marxist analysis of these events.
International Socialism welcomes the revolutions of 1989, but many other socialists feel as much confused as elated by the upheavals. Those left wingers who believed that Russia and the Eastern European regimes were socialist societies are now demoralised by the seemingly headlong rush to embrace the Western style markets.
'The Storm Breaks' argues against this pessimism. Chris Harman, author of Class Struggles in Eastern Europe, shows that what we are seeing is not the destruction of socialism but the crisis of state capitalism.; Duncan Hallas: Notes and Letters: Eastern European class societies
International Socialism Journal nr. 9, jun 80 – side 128
Note: Comment on "New theories on Eastern European class societies" in ISJ 2:7; Peter Binns + Mike Haynes: New theories of Eastern Europe class societies
International Socialism Journal nr. 7, dec 79 – side 18
Note: Peter Binns and Mike Haynes critically examine a growing consensus between Marxist oppositionists in the east and some independent western Marxists who have decisively rejected Maoist and 'Orthodox' Trotskyist accounts of those countries, but who have equally not yet been convinced of the theory of state capitalism. The article argues that these new views are not just mistaken, but also dangerous, leading, if taken up consistently, to a reformist strategy in the west.; Tony Cliff: On the Class Nature of the "People’s Democracies" (1950)

Socialist Worker nr. 2007, jul 06 – side 13
Note: Karol Modzelewski was a student and political activist in 1956.

International Socialism Journal nr. 41, dec 88 – side 47
Note: The importance of the arguments put forward in "Nightmares of the Market" become obvious on reading the articles collectively titled "Solidarity at the Crossroads". These interviews with leaders and members of the Polish Socialist Party show not only the courage and heroism of those fighting the Polish regime, but also how the myth of the market has effected even the left in Solidarity.
This debate with the Polish left – partly a response to the article "Glasnost – before the storm" in International Socialism 39 – is crucial, as Andy Zebrowski explains in his introduction.; Solidarity at the crossroads: The birth of the Polish Socialist Party (discussion with PPS members)

Note: For 40 år siden, d. 23. oktober 1956, startede Ungarns arbejdere en af det tyvende århundredes største revolutionære opstande. Nogen påstår, at det var et oprør mod socialismen. Men i virkeligheden indeholdt oprøret alle elementerne fra en ægte socialistisk revolution, og det var rettet mod et regime, der var det absolutte modsatte af socialisme.; Mike Haynes: Hungary: workers’ councils against Russian tanks
International Socialism Journal nr. 112, sep 06 – side 81
Note: ‘Tell me what you think about Hungary and I will tell you who you are,’ said a Polish writer in late November 1956. So in this spirit let us make a declaration. The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was an authentic working class revolution.; Joan Soelberg: Ungarns hede efterår (1956)
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 23, okt 86 – side 10

Note: Retssagen mod Slobodan Milosevic er i fuld gang ved det internationale krigsforbrydertribunal for ex-Jugoslavien i Haag, Holland.

International Socialism Journal nr. 89, dec 00 – side 3
Note: The revolution in Serbia is an event of international importance. The overthrow of Milosevic by the Serbian workers and the student movement Otpor! clearly proves, for the first time since the Portuguese Revolution of 1974, that the impulse to revolution has not left the European heartland of the capitalist system. Yet this is a democratic revolution, not a socialist revolution, argues Lindsey German. How will the movement now develop? How will the new government confront the workers? How will it deal with the NATO powers and Kosovo?; Dragan Plavsic: Balkans: Green shoots of resistance

Rumænien: Andy Ridley: Film review: California Dreamin'
Socialist Review nr. 326, jun 08 – side 32
Note: California Dreamin', Director: Cristian Nemescu; Release date: out now
California Dreamin' was to be Cristian Nemescu's only feature film – both he and his sound editor were killed in a car crash before it was finished.
He has created a beautiful film. It often makes you smile because you are reminded of your own obsessions and yearnings and clumsy, frustrated attempts to better yourself. People are brought together by circumstance and we witness subtle and intimate conversations between them.; Farah Reza: Film Review: 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days
Socialist Review nr. 321, jan 08 – side 29
Note: Director: Cristian Mungiu; Release date: 11 January
The Palme d'Or winner, 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days, is set during the last days of the Communist regime in Romania. It starts with a student called Gabita frantically packing a suitcase. Her room mate Ortila remarks that "it looks like you're packing to go camping". It emerges that Gabita is pregnant — not two months pregnant, as she originally claims, but four months pregnant. Abortion is still illegal in Romania, but Ortila chooses to help her friend.; Mikkel Birk Jespersen: Rumænsk protestvalg

Kosovo: Chris Bambery: Kosovos løsrivelse: Optrapning af koldkrigsspændinger
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 277, mar 08 – side 10
Note: USA, England, Frankrig, Tyskland og Italien har meget hurtigt anerkendt den unilaterale uafhængighedserklæring, hvor Kosovas parlament erklærede deres selvstændighed fra Serbien. Dette træk kan kun forstærke de etniske spændinger i regionen. Det skaber også en farlig optrapning af den „nye Kolde Krig“, imellem Vesten og Rusland, der fungerer som Serbiens vigtigste allierede.; GM Tamás: Kosovo: Nato’s relentless drive for war in eastern Europe
Socialist Worker nr. 2091, mar 08 – side 9
Note: GM Tamás is a former Hungarian dissident and a former member of the Hungarian parliament. Today he is a professor of philosophy in Budapest. He writes on the background and context to Kosovo’s recent declaration of independence.; Vladimir Unkovski-Korica: Kosovo is a pawn on the imperial chessboard
Socialist Worker nr. 2090, mar 08 – side 4
Note: Revolutionary socialists in the Balkans face a difficult period ahead. The region has long been at the centre of imperial rivalry between the US and European Union (EU) on one side and Russia on the other. Kosovo’s unilateral declaration of independence marks a new stage in the ratcheting up of tensions.; Chris Bambery: Kosovo’s breakaway will inflame 'cold war' tensions
Socialist Worker nr. 2089, feb 08 – side 4
Note: The US, Britain, France, Germany and Italy have rushed to recognise last Sunday’s unilateral declaration of independence from Serbia made by the parliament in Kosovo. This move can only inflame ethnic tension in the region.; Lindsey German: In my view: Kosovo — back to the brink
Socialist Review nr. 321, jan 08 – side 7
Note: The Balkan province of Kosovo has been largely forgotten in British politics since the war there nine years ago. It was obvious at the time that the post-war settlement would come to a crisis over the question of Kosovan independence.; Christian Ringdal: NATO, Kosovo og imperialisme

Note: 450 mennesker – mest albanske civile – er indtil nu blevet dræbt i krigen mellem de serbiske styrker og den albanske oprørshær i Kosova-provinsen. De gængse forklaringer henviser til balkansk stridbarhed, urgammelt had eller serbernes herrefolksmentalitet.
Østeuropa: 1956 Se også: Ungarn: 1956 and the rebirth of socialism from below
International Socialism Journal nr. 112, sep 06 – side 77
Note: Why commemorate 1956? The answer, in short, is that Sunday 4 November 1956 was one of the major ideological turning points for socialists in the 20th century. On that day Russian tanks moved in to crush workers’ councils in Hungary and did so just as the left across the world was mobilising hundreds of thousands of people on the streets in protest at the joint British, French and Israeli military attack on Egypt.; Joan Soelberg: Ungarns hede efterår (1956)
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 23, okt 86 – side 10
Note: Opstanden i Ungarn i 1956 er blevet kaldt både kontrarevolutionær og fascistisk. Den påstand afviser Joan Soelberg i denne artikel og ser samtidig nærmere på de ungarske arbejderes aktiviteter og organisering i arbejderråd under opstanden.
