Lenin’s writings from 1917 are a marvelous insight into the Bolshevik leader’s thinking in this crucial year. 

1917 witnessed a series of dramatic turns that propelled the Bolsheviks, the most revolutionary party in history, from some 8,000 members to a mass force of 400,000 in just nine months.

Following the February Revolution, Lenin was forced to rearm the Bolsheviks with a new perspective of socialist revolution. With skillful tactics and a bold approach, he presided over the growth of the party. Although the Bolsheviks were driven underground in July, and Lenin branded a state criminal by the Provisional Government, the failed coup by General Kornilov in August transformed the situation.

By fighting in a united front against Kornilov, the Bolsheviks succeeded in winning a majority in the Soviets. Under Lenin’s guidance, outlined in this volume, this victory prepared the way for the October Revolution. 

These selected writings draw out the invaluable role of the revolutionary party and its leadership. They are an essential guide for those fighting for socialist revolution today.
