Rethinking Soviet Marxism from the Perspective of Russian Marx-ism in the 21st Century
The questioning of Soviet Marxism is not only related to history,but also directly concerns the future of Marxism.In recent years,contemporary Russian Marxist scholars have argued for the legiti-macy,rationality,and creative nature of the October Revolution from a variety of interpretive approaches.They underlined the qualitative differences in different historical periods of the Soviet Union from the dialec-tical and nonlinear logic and pointed out the departure of the Soviet model from the law of alienation rela-tions and the binary paradox of Soviet culture.They also figured out the irrational and subjective factors of the disintegration of the Soviet Union from the comprehensive collapse of the leadership.The discussion of contemporary Russian Marxism confirms an important theoretical issue:Marxism is a dual unity of academic thought and ideology.As a version of Russification of Marxism,Soviet Marxism functions as a special way to promote the development of Russian modernization.China should attach importance to the study of Rus-sification of Marxism and localization of Marxism in China,refute erroneous conclusions based on scientific research,and seriously respond to ideological challenges.
