| Summary: | Georgi Dimitrov (1882-1949), the most prominent Bulgarian Communist leader and the chief of the Komintern between 1935 and 1941, left a private diary which has recently been published (in Bulgarian in 1997; in English in 2003). One contribution of this remarkably rich document is the portrait of Stalin it draws: Dimitrov met him frequently and transcribed faithfully his words. Among other features revealed by this portrait are the nationalistic turn of his communism; his pragmatic appreciation of the balance of powers; and hypocrisy as a systematic strategy. |
