Later developments (1968–present)
Anti-Stalinist leftists, influenced by Western Marxism, continued to organise in the Soviet Union. Roy Medvedev published the samizdatPolitical Diary to influence “party-democrats” in the hopes of reforming the regime. Elkon Gergieveich Leikin, a veteran of the anti-Stalinist oppositions of the 1920s, wrote The Origins of Stalinism, published by the French Trotskyist League of Revolutionary Communists in the early 1980s. In 1977, the Young Socialists formed at the Moscow State University, with Boris Kagarlitsky among its members. In the late 1980s, anti-Stalinist leftists formed Trotskyist and anarchist currents in the collapsing USSR.
