State and Revolution (1917) describes the role of the state in society, the necessity of proletarian revolution, and the theoretic inadequacies of social democracy in achieving revolution. It describes the inherent nature of the state as a tool for class oppression, a creation born of one social class' desire to control all other social classes. Whether a dictatorship or a democracy, the state remains in the control of the ruling class.

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (1870-1924) is better known by his alias Lenin. A Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist, he served as the head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia became the Soviet Union, a one-party state governed by the Communist Party.

This 100-year-old book still explains our endless wars. As the extraordinary death and suffering of World War I unfolded, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin tried to explain why so many nations agreed to sacrifice so many people in such a brutal way. Expanding on the works of other political and economic theorists, including Karl Marx, Lenin provided an answer: Capitalism. In Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism, Lenin extends his scorn to the international socialist movement.

Revolution, Diktatur und Krieg - Begriffe, die zwei Männer vereinten, die die Welt in Angst und Schrecken versetzten: Adolf Hitler und Joseph Stalin. Ihr gleichzeitiges Erscheinen auf der Bühne der Geschichte ist das wohl bemerkenswerteste Phänomen in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ein Phänomen, dessen Nachwirkungen noch bis zum Fall der Mauer im Herbst 1989 zu spüren waren. Obwohl zweieinhalbtausend Kilometer voneinander entfernt geboren, bewegten sich die Wege der beiden Despoten unaufhaltsam aufeinander zu.

Wladimir Iljitsch Uljanow (1870 - 1924) ist in Simbirsk, dem heutigen Uljanowsk geboren. Seine christliche Familie ist wohlhabend und niederen Adels. Seine Tätigkeit als Rechtsanwalt füllt ihn nicht aus. Ab 1900 gründet Lenin mit Revolutionären im Exil eine russischsprachige Zeitung "Iskra" (Funke), in der Uljanow fortan unter dem Decknamen "Lenin" seine Ideologie des späteren Leninismus verbreitet. 1902 publiziert er die Schrift "Was tun?".

Among the leaders of the 20th century, arguably none shaped the course of history as much as Vladimir Lenin. If Adolf Hitler had not inflicted the devastation of World War II upon Europe, it's quite likely that the West would consider Joseph Stalin (1878-1953) the 20th century's greatest tyrant. Along with Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky led the October Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and held crucial posts in the early Soviet governments.
