Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to review some of the varied interpretations that have been made of the term «stalinism» in the scopes of the western and soviet historiography. To meet this purpose we have selected to center the analysis, because this matter has mostly worried academics on the subject, on the continuities or ruptures of the stalinist characteristics in relation with the principles that oriented the Bolshevik Revolution. We consider that, given the characteristics of the regime arisen from the October Revolution, this has been a crucial question: the answer to the question on the relation between Lenin and Stalin, or —to give it a rhetorical form— between the taking off of the Winter Palace and the purges of 1936-38, has been fundamental for all the interested ones in explaining a process of the dimensions of the unfolded one in the Soviet Union for more than seventy years.
