Résumé anglais Mikhaïl Guefter, Stalin died Yesterday In the first part of this interview-article focusing on Stalinism, Mikhaïl Guefter shows that any attempt to relegate Stalinism to a past which ended with the Twentieth Party Congress, by « demonizing » Stalin, will necessarily fail. The central problem is not the person of Stalin (of whom Guefter attempts to reveal the tragic dimension) but the extraordinarily complex relations, past and present, that the USSR maintains with Stalinism. If the possibility exists to leave this behind some day, it resides in the willingness to explore all dimensions of the phenomenon. In the second part, the author, according a major role to the notion of « choice », returns to the mechanisms which have lead to Stalinism, itself presented as the « destruction » of any alternative.
