27 years ago the Soviet power bloc collapsed. However, since then the Left has not managed to open a political and theoretical debate in order to discuss its controversies concerning the nature of the Russian Revolution and the „post-revolutionary societies“. This article departs from a conference of the European Left, held in Venice in 1977, which was dedicated to this topic. It inquires about the questions that remained open at the end of the conference, and that can maybe answered from a contemporary perspective.
