 Lightness at Midnight: Stalinism without irony [Hitchens on Amis]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
He adds to Trotsky's bombast the words "Which leaves you wondering if piatiletka is Russian for 'summary execution,' perhaps, or 'slave camp.'" There follows a footnote.
Piatiletka means "five-year plan." There is a very slight waste of words here, because the mordancy of Amis's second observation makes the first one seem merely taunting and sarcastic.
Notice his "I would not now disagree" or whatever, implying that he used to be much more lefty, but nonetheless he feels he has to demur a bit here and there.

 Down With the Piatiletki - TIME
At the beginning of Soviet Russia's climb from a plow-horse to a horsepower economy, the Five-Year Plan, or Piatiletka, was a dramatic slogan as well as an effective method of primitive state planning.
But when the sixth Piatiletka arrived last year, the word had lost its power for millions of Russian workers, case-hardened by 30 years of ceaseless urging to achieve ever higher production norms.
Last week the Soviet leaders indicated that they were ready to drop the old Piatiletki for a more relaxed method of planning and executing the progress of their national economy.

 Leon Trotsky: The History of the Russian Revolution (3. Conclusion)
The language of the civilised nations has clearly marked off two epochs in the development of Russia.
Where the aristocratic culture introduced into world parlance such barbarisms as czar, pogrom, knout, October has internationalised such words as Bolshevik, soviet and piatiletka.
This alone justifies the proletarian revolution, if you imagine that it needs justification.
