The dictatorship of the proletariat was to be a strictly temporary phenomenon. Well aware of this, the Soviet Communists never claimed to have achieved communism, always labeling their own system socialist rather than communist and viewing their system as in transition to communism.».

The Economics of Socialism after World War Two: 1945-1990 (англ.). — Aldine Transaction[англ.], 2008. — P. 21. — ISBN 978-0202362281.. — «Contrary to Western usage, these countries describe themselves as ‘Socialist’ (not ‘Communist’).
