Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"The Revolution of 1917" is a comprehensive collection of the foundational writings and speeches of V.I. Lenin, composed during the volatile year that reshaped the global political landscape. As the leader of the Bolshevik party, Lenin provides a firsthand account and theoretical justification for the events that led to the overthrow of the Russian Provisional Government and the establishment of Soviet power. This work explores the strategic development of revolutionary tactics, the critique of parliamentary democracy, and the mobilization of the working class. Inside, readers will find detailed analyses of the internal conflicts within the socialist movement and the external pressures of World War I that precipitated the collapse of the old order. From the "April Theses" to the tactical decisions of the October uprising, Lenin's prose illustrates the intense intellectual labor behind the practical execution of a social revolution. This volume is an indispensable resource for understanding the origins of the Soviet Union and the trajectory of 20th-century geopolitical history.
