Sažetak

The article provides basic information on the course of life and theoretical
work of contemporary French political thinker Claude Lefort (1924-2010).
Particular emphasis is put on the contents and importance of Lefort’s theoretical
trilogy on Stalinist totalitarianism, which consists of the following books:
Elements of a Critique of Bureaucracy (1971), One Man Too Many. Reflections
on “The Gulag Archipelago” (1976), and Democratic Invention (1981).
These works contain an original and profound understanding of such a type
of order as a modern social formation. Such research shows that true insight
into the political and into democracy is possible only on the basis of thorough
investigation and understanding of totalitarianism.
