The Italian Socialist Party in postwar Europe: a study of its relationship with the USSR and the October Revolution from the 1940s to the 1960s
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 October 2020
Abstract
The main goal of this article is to analyse the relationship between the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) – a party that followed a different trajectory from other Western social democratic parties following the Second World War – and the October Revolution and the USSR from the 1940s to the 1960s. In particular, given the political context of postwar Europe, it aims to use this relationship to understand the party's political and programmatic evolution from a new perspective. To this end, the article is largely based on archival investigation and on a wide examination of press sources from the period.
Il proposito di questo articolo è di analizzare il rapporto tra il Partito Socialista Italiano (PSI), il 1917 e l'URSS alla luce del contesto europeo del dopoguerra. Si basa su ampie indagini di archivio e su un ampio esame delle fonti di stampa del periodo. Prendendo come punto di riferimento la Rivoluzione d'Ottobre, contribuisce all'ampliamento della letteratura storica sul PSI, un partito che ha seguito una traiettoria diversa rispetto agli altri partiti socialdemocratici occidentali del secondo dopoguerra.
