Communist Crises in a Gramscian Framework

Communist Crises in a Gramscian Framework Rajen Harshe Explaining Communist Crises' by Bhupender Brar: Ajanta, New Delhi, 1994;
DURING the post-second world war period, the communist world was rocked by two major crises that profoundly affected the fortunes of communist movements all over the world. The first crisis began with the gradual growth of tensions between the Soviet Union and China after the mid-1950s and eventually culminated in the Sino-Soviet rift during the early 1960s. The phenomenon of Sino-Soviet schism virtually fractured the communist movements all over the world. As a consequence, the communist parlies in diverse stales had witnessed a vertical split between ihe pro-Soviet and the pro-Chinese tactions till they ultimately succeeded in establishing separate political parties.
