Soviet Nomenklatura and the Communists' Historic Defeat. This paper is about Stalin and the Soviet Nomenklatura. Created by Stalin, the nomenclature defined its role and justified its privileges by an anticapitalist ideology. This ideology professed that a classless utopian society would be created where there would be no private property. But by the end of the 1980s, many nomenclature members came to embrace political pluralism and the free market.
