Key Notes
diagnosis
Jiang frames People's Will as a small terrorist group whose successful assassination of Alexander II raises the possibility of secret-police enablement.
model
A security service can rationally support extremists because extremists discredit opposition, deepen factional conflict, justify repression, produce intelligence, and can be aimed at political enemies.
diagnosis
Stalin's marginal Georgian status, downward mobility, and abusive father made him a plausible recruit for criminal networks, revolutionary organizations, and the secret police.
diagnosis
Stalin's criminal financing of the Bolsheviks is treated as more intelligible if he was operating on behalf of the secret police than if he was merely a self-sacrificing Marxist.
diagnosis
Jiang treats the convenient deaths of Lenin, Yakov Sverdlov, and Felix Dzerzhinsky as suspicious because each removed an obstacle to Stalin's control of party organization or secret police.
model
The Great Purge is framed as Stalin's continuous revolution: destroying old guard, army leadership, bureaucracy, and even previous purgers to keep power fluid and dependent on him.
