| Telegraph | News | Martin Malia (562 words) |
| Martin Malia, the historian who died on November 19 aged 80, was a forthright and provocative voice in the Left-oriented field of Soviet studies. |
| Malia's article, by contrast, saw nothing to praise, predicting that Gorbachev would succeed in giving neither democracy nor free markets to the Soviet Union, though they might extend the life of the Communist Party, whose existence, Malia argued, lay at the heart of the Soviet failure. |
| Malia was one of the first to recognise the importance of the Polish Solidarity movement's challenge to the theoretical and moral basis of Communism, though he saw no prospect of similar upheavals in Russia and refused to believe that significant changes could take place from within the Communist Party structure. |
