Features: After the dramatic changes in the socialist countries of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union from 1989 to 1991, many people raised the question: Why did world socialism suffer an unprecedented setback? Were the changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe solely caused by the right-wing policies implemented by their leaders? Why did the Romanian Communist Party, which stubbornly opposed multi-party systems and market economies even to the very end, also collapse and face a more tragic defeat? What are the main flaws of the Soviet socialist model? How can reforms succeed? What lessons should be drawn from the dramatic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe? How can we advance the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics to achieve comprehensive success? What new changes have occurred in world socialism after the dramatic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe? What new adjustments should be made to the development strategy of world socialism? What will be the future prospects of scientific socialism in theory and practice? For these new questions, we strive to liberate our minds, seek truth from facts, combat "Leftism" and prevent rightism, and provide new explanations and answers in the classroom. This textbook constructs a structure that combines history and logic, with the evolution of theory as the main thread. It contains rich and substantial new content, embodying the author's unique new perspectives. The analysis of many important issues is bold and clear, and the author's perception of the direction of our times is keen. It aims to solve some fundamental theoretical issues that have long concerned people, guided by the profound spirit inherent in Marxism. Some chapters and arguments can truly be described as brilliant.
