upon returning to the united states in 1927, eastman published several works that were highly critical of the stalinist system, beginning with "since lenin died", which was written in 1925. in that essay, he described "lenin's testament", a copy of which eastman had smuggled out of russia. in it, vladimir lenin proposed changes to the structure of the soviet government, criticized the leading members of the soviet leadership and suggested stalin be removed from his position as general secretary of the soviet communist party. the soviet leadership denounced eastman's account and used party discipline to force trotsky, then still a member of the politburo, to write an article denying eastman's version of the events. in other essays, eastman described conditions for artists and political activists in russia. such essays made eastman unpopular with american leftists of the time. in later years, his writings on the subject were cited by many on both the left and the right as sober and realistic portrayals of the soviet system under stalin.
