Grant based his analysis on that of Leon Trotsky, who first analysed Stalinism in his Revolution Betrayed. In February of 1917 Russia was a backward, autocratic monarchy, mired in an unpopular war; by October, after not one but two revolutions, it had become the world’s first workers’ state, straining to be at the vanguard of global revolution.
