Discuss Cultural Revolution.

Answer

The failure of the 'Great Leap Forward' weakened Mao's position to some extent. To revive his own position, he launched another radical programme, the Cultural Revolution. This heralded the darkest age in the history of Chinese Communism, which till that time had a relatively more human face than its Soviet version.


Mao, who considered himself to be a more diehard communist than the Russians, wanted to keep his revolution on a strictly Marxist-Leninist course.
