and Polish patterns to be inherently dangerous to their stability
and, for this reason, fear them more than the Soviet leadership
does. Their dogmatic attitude testifies to the greater degree of
diversity existing within the bloc than was the case during the
period of monolithic unity before Stalin died. This dognatisti is
reflected in sharp suppression of any intellectual currents which
seem at variance with the Stalinist orientation of these regines.
It is also expressed by an intensive pursuit of the goal of total
collectivization and the employment of violence for the sake of
achievement of that goal.
Within these states. dogmatism also masked a growing element
of practical diversity. Indeed, in some ways ideological orthodoxy
might be a compensatory substitute for what even the local leader-
ships realize to be an inevitable trend towards greater domestic
priorities which Inevitably emerge with the passage of time, The
ruling Communist parties are gradually aging and the new cadrea are
acquiring their training and political skills by dealing with local
economic, social or political issues. In that sense they differ a
great deal from their seniors, whose political training was acquired
in the international or domestic Stalinist apparatus. There are some
indications that the Soviet leadership is conscious of this diversity
and is making concerted efforts to diminsh the range of diversity
which now exists in Eastern Europe. On the one hand, it is encourag-
ing and welcoming Gomulka's policy of limited domestic compression,
and on the other, it seems to be attempting to encourage some of the
more Stalinist regines to abandon their excessive commitment to past methods
and to reduce the range of their difference with Gomulka.
