Brief statement on class battles in Russia for Socialist Unity debate on Workers' States

I have just noticed from re-reading Redbedhead commentsattacking the Trotskyist concept that Capitalist inroads inRussia were a move towards another rising class and that elementsof this class being expropriated is a move back towardsthe Proletariat refracted politically through a BureaucraticCaste. Imperialism’s attitudte to different changes inRussia confirms the Trotskyist analysis. They praised Russiaup when Capitalist inroads deepened and were hysterically hostilewhen that major oligarch (which I cannot spell)ended up in prisonfor years by trying to weaken the Bureucracy’s control ofRussia’s natural resources.
