Publisher's Synopsis
Mastering Bolshevism is a book written by Joseph Stalin, the former General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of Bolshevism, the revolutionary socialist movement that led the Bolsheviks to power in Russia in 1917. In this book, Stalin discusses the key tenets of Bolshevism, including its views on class struggle, the role of the party in revolutionary activity, and the importance of the dictatorship of the proletariat. He also examines the history of Bolshevism, from its origins in the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party to its triumph in the October Revolution and subsequent consolidation of power in the Soviet Union. Mastering Bolshevism is a foundational text for anyone interested in the history of communism and the Soviet Union. It provides a detailed and authoritative account of the ideas and practices that shaped one of the most influential political movements of the 20th century. While some of Stalin's views and actions have been widely criticized, this book remains an important resource for understanding the legacy of Bolshevism and the Soviet Union.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
