V. I. Lenjin: Kratka biografija

A collective work that provides a concise account of the life and work of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924), a key figure of the October Revolution and the founder of the Soviet Union. The book, written in the spirit of Soviet historiography, focuses on Lenin's contribution to Marxism and the revolutionary movement.

Lenin, born in Simbirsk as Vladimir Uljanov, grew up in an educated family. The tragic death of his older brother Alexander in 1887, who was executed for plotting against the Tsar, had a profound effect on his worldview. He studied law in Kazan, where he was expelled for his revolutionary activities, which led him to Marxism. He organized Marxist circles in Samara and Saint Petersburg, and in 1898 he participated in the founding of the RSDRP. After exile in Siberia (1897–1900), Lenin edited Iskra in exile and developed the theory of the revolutionary party.

The book emphasizes Lenin's role in the October Revolution of 1917, the establishment of the Bolsheviks in power, and the creation of the Soviet state. It highlights his theoretical works, such as What is to be Done? and State and Revolution, and his struggle against bureaucratization and opportunism. The work celebrates Lenin as the leader of the world proletariat, but also reflects the ideological bias of the Soviet period.
