biography

Richard Kossolapow was born in 1930. After completing his doctorate at the Philosophical Faculty of Moscow State University , he first worked as a lecturer for the Komsomol (Communist Youth Association) and later for the Central Committee of the CPSU . Eventually he became a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU and worked for its apparatus. From 1976 to 1986 he was editor-in-chief of the Soviet magazine Kommunist (Коммунист; until 1952 Bolshevik ), the most important theoretical magazine of the Communist Party.

In the early 1980s he was a close advisor to Yuri Andropov . In 1986, Kosolapov retired from active work at the CPSU and became a professor at Moscow State University, from 1986 to 1988 he was dean of the Faculty of Arts. However, the new political climate created by perestroika and glasnost drew Kosolapov back into active political life. Since 1988, Kosolapov helped organize several communist movements and parties that were independent from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union , including the Association of Scientific Communism, the United Workers' Front, the Communist Initiative Movement, and the Communist Party of Russia. Since the attempted coup in August 1991 , Kosolapov has actively participated in almost every new neo-communist organization, including Trudovaya Moskva (Working Moscow) and Trudovaya Rossiya (Working Russia).

As a supporter of Stalin , he initiated the continuation of the publication of the collected works of Josef Wissarionowitsch Stalin in 1997 , which was started by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute in the Central Committee of the CPSU (B) in 1946 and interrupted in 1951 after the publication of the 13th volume. Volumes 14-18 were published, the foreword of which was written by Kosolapov.
