It is organized around three themes: the convergence of Maoism with Stalinism in the early 1950s, which induced the transnational transplantation of the Soviet model of higher education to China; historical convergence between Stalinism of the First Five-Year Plan period (19281932) and Maoism of the Great Leap period (19581960), which was prominently manifested in Soviet and Chinese higher education policies in these respective periods; the eventual divergence of Maoism from Stalinism on the definition of socialist society, which was evinced in the different final outcomes of the Maoist and Stalinist endeavors to create a socialist system of higher learning. Lee S. Zhu is Professor of History at Loras College, USA.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-88777-3}, recid = {1441193}, pages = {1 online resource}, address = {Cham, Switzerland :}, year = {2021}, }
