		Since 1917 the course of Russian history has diverged so radically from European history that it has come to demand its own terminology.
		Instead, the [available] terminology—which includes "War Communism," "NEP" [the New Economic Policy], "collectivization," and so on—is a combination of European terminology and such Russian terms as prisposoblenets [opportunist], poputchik [fellow traveler], lishenets [disenfranchised person], podkulachnik [rich peasant sympathizer], and the like.
		As such, it functions as a set of words that take the place of concepts rather than as concepts themselves.
