Vladimir llyich Lenin (1870-1924) led the first successful revolt against market-based liberal democracy and founded the Soviet state in 1917, serving as the new nation's chief architect and ruler for the next five years. This collection of primary sources - including many newly available and translated here for the first time - allows readers to learn about Lenin through his own words and explores the complicated relationship between Lenin's actions and his ideology.
