In Defence of Lenin
ืืืืข ืขื ืืกืคืจ ืืืืืืืื ืืื
As the leader of the Russian Revolution, Lenin was a man who changed the world. A convinced Marxist, he created the Bolshevik Party, the most revolutionary party in history. Lenin translated the ideas of Marxism into reality.
It is now one hundred years since his death. The bourgeois historians continue to slander him and his ideas. The task of this book is to explain his real life and ideas, and to draw out the significance of Lenin. Given the ongoing capitalist crisis, his ideas are gaining an increasingly wide echo. In so many ways, Lenin is more relevant today than ever before.
Over two volumes, this book traces Leninโs life and explains his ideas, drawing on the colossal heritage of what he actually wrote and did. This book also features an appendix of Krupskayaโs writings on Lenin, a chronology and over 250 images.
