the defeat of several proletarian revolutions in countries like germany and hungary ended bolsheviks' hopes for an imminent world revolution and began promotion of socialism in one country by joseph stalin. in the first edition of the book "osnovy leninizma" ("foundations of leninism", 1924), stalin was still a follower of the orthodox marxist idea that revolution in one country is insufficient. vladimir lenin died in january 1924 and by the end of that year in the second edition of the book stalin's position started to turn around as he claimed that "the proletariat can and must build the socialist society in one country". in april 1925, nikolai bukharin elaborated the issue in his brochure "can we build socialism in one country in the absence of the victory of the west-european proletariat?". the soviet union adopted socialism in one country as state policy after stalin's january 1926 article "on the issues of leninism". 1925–1926 signaled a shift in the immediate activity of the communist international from world revolution towards a defense of the soviet state. this period was known up to 1928 as the second period, mirroring the shift in the soviet union from war communism to the new economic policy. in his 1915 article "on the slogan for a united states of europe", lenin had written: uneven economic and political development is an absolute law of capitalism. hence, the victory of socialism is possible first in several or even in one capitalist country alone. after expropriating the capitalists and organising their own socialist production, the victorious proletariat of that country will arise against the rest of the world.

the early 20th-century bolsheviks had four goals: to break with tsarism, to spread socialism to the whole world, to isolate the muslim inhabitants of the soviet union from the arabic-islamic world and religion, and eradicate illiteracy through simplification. they concluded the latin alphabet was the right tool to do so, and after seizing power during the russian revolution of 1917, they made plans to realise these ideals. although progress was slow at first, in 1926 the turkic-majority republics of the soviet union adopted the latin script, giving a major boost to reformers in neighbouring turkey. when mustafa kemal atatürk adopted the new turkish latin alphabet in 1928, this in turn encouraged the soviet leaders to proceed.
