History of the Bolshevik Party by Grigory Yevseyevich Zinovyev Pdf
Grigorill Zinoviev, for a number of years Lenin's closest collaborator, was himself a central figure in the bolshevik Party's history. The lectures he gave on the 25th anniversary of the founding of its precursor, the Russian Social=Democratic Labour Party in 1898, provide a lucid account of Bolshevism's formative years up to the overthrow of Tsarism in 1917. Replaced by a succession of Stalinist falsifications, Zinoviev's history was the only Soviet work to highlight the tenacious struggle for Marxist principles that built the Bolshevik Party. Full annotate and illustrated, this new edition includes a specially written foreword which fills in the books' historical and political background, together with a glossary of names and a brief biography of the author.
