Lo storico e giornalista Aldo Giannuli torna sulla fondazione del sistema di potere sovietico nel suo momento cruciale: il passaggio di testimone tra Lenin e Stalin. Se è possibile rintracciare in Lenin alcune premesse per il successivo sviluppo storico che porterà all’affermazione dello stalinismo, secondo l’autore è errato sostenere una continuità diretta tra le posizioni politiche dei due leader. Leninismo e stalinismo sono stati dunque fenomeni tra loro ben distinti, separati da una profonda rottura politica e da visioni spesso contrastanti.

Vladimir Lenin (speaking Russian) was the main theoretician and practical leader of the Blosheviks. He was voted the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR. Leon Trotsky was a communist theorist, prolific writer, and leader in the 1917 Russian Revolution. Josef Stalin (speaking Russian) was the General Secretary of the Russian Communist Party and a key leader in World War II.

The State & Revolution stands as one of the most powerful and unsettling political works ever written. Composed in the charged atmosphere of 1917, it cuts straight to the heart of what a state truly is beneath its flags, ceremonies, and promises.

Two Tactics of Social Democracy in the Democratic Revolution is one of the most important of Lenin's early writings. It was written in June and July 1905, while the Russian Revolution of 1905 was taking place. Lenin's preface poses these questions: "in educating and organizing the working class;...where should we place the main political emphasis in this work of education and organization? On the trade unions and legally existing associations, or on an insurrection, on the work of creating a revolutionary army and a revolutionary government?"

Amidst the turmoil of the failed 1905 revolution in Russia, Lenin provides a critical analysis of the Bolshevik political program and tactics, contrasting them with the erratic and subservient factions within the Russian Social-Democratic Labor Party. Join us as we explore this insightful examination of revolutionary strategy and political clarity. (Summary by Christian Pecaut) This edition was edited by George Hanna.
