THE article 'Marxism and Imperialism' by T V Sathyamurthy (TVS) (EPW, December 6, 1997) is well written, yet it is over simplified on some points and lacking in some relevant arguments and explanations.
On 'Socialism in One Country' ACHIN VANAIK's article (EPW) is a severe indictment of Soviet foreign policy pursued by Lenin's successors, including Stalin. Vanaik argues that the pursuit of 'socialism in one country' is the sole reason for the emergence of the later Soviet foreign policy and this he laments was a departure from 'classical Marxism'.
