Niels Erik Rosenfeldt is Associate Professor at the East European Department at the University of Copenhagen. He is the author of numerous books and articles on Stalin and Russia/the Soviet Union. When the Soviet Union collapsed the formerly closed archives were to a certain degree opened for research. Rosenfeldt has on several occasions visited these archives. Here he presents a thorough and groundbreaking study. As a starting point a detailed description is given of the principles and procedures for secrecy in the Soviet System of the 1920s. This is followed by an investigation of the development of Stalin's secret chancellery, from the early 1920s to the death of Stalin in 1953, and of the various internal and external factors affecting the growth and shape of the secret apparatus during the same period. More specifically there is a lengthy discussion of the role of the secret chancellery in the Soviet decision-making process. In the analysis of the Soviet State Security Service the main emphasis is put on the network of the ultra-secret "special departments" and "special sections". The examination of the apparatus of the Communist International focuses on the clandestine chancellery and communication departments which can be compared to the structural pattern of Stalin's secret chancellery and related offices in the Soviet Communist Party. This groundbreaking two-volume study offers a comprehensive examination of some of the most secret structures of Soviet society, and in particular of Stalin's power and control mechanisms.
