Soviet revisionism was a successful movement of the revived Soviet bourgeoisie to restore capitalism in the Soviet Union, which disguised itself as communist. The turning of the USSR into a revisionist state was put in place upon Stalin's death, in 1953. At that point, Nikita Khrushchev took power and started tearing away at the foundations of Marxism–Leninism while letting criminals run free and defaming Stalin. At first he started with the intensification of class struggle under socialism, saying that class struggle had ended and that the Soviet Union was now an "all-people's state" instead of a dictatorship of the proletariat and other policies associated with his trend of revisionism, Khrushchevism. It is known to Marxists worldwide that the state exists only as a weapon of one class against another.

The next revisionist premier, Leonid Brezhnev, continued the plan with market reforms and implemented even more explicit social-imperialist policies. Gorbachev, finally, implemented policies known as perestroika and a movement to allow counter-revolutionaries to openly spread bourgeois propaganda called glasnost. However, glasnost was not particularly crucial, considering bourgeois propaganda was already being disseminated from the Communist Party itself, which at had openly admitted to not being a dictatorship of the proletariat long before this.

Finally, in the period of 1989–1991, Gorbachev illegalized the Communist Party, empowered right-wing counter-revolutionaries, and oversaw the official dissolution of the Soviet Union.
