Abstract: | The Chinese formula for populist revolution (Maoism) was established at the Tsunyi Conference in 1935, after the defeat of the revolutionary movement which had been led under instructions from the Comintern since 1921. In the socialist construction of society, the period 1949–1957 was modelled on the Soviet pattern, but by 1958 an independent Chinese pattern had to be sought in order to achieve a self-sustained National Economy. This changing process reveals some important unsolved problems bequeathed to “The Great Cultural Revolution” as main issues. |
