Scenarios about 'Nikolai Bukharin'
Nikolai Bukharin was a Bolshevik revolutionary, Soviet politician, and Marxist theorist who played a significant role in the early Soviet Union until his execution during Stalin's Great Purge in 1938. As a leading economist and advocate for the New Economic Policy, Bukharin represented a more moderate approach to communist development that was ultimately rejected in favor of Stalinist rapid industrialization. In alternate history scenarios, he often features as a potential successor to Lenin who might have led the Soviet Union along a less authoritarian path than Stalin.
