Can electoral and parliamentary arenas be used toward revolutionary
ends? This is precisely the question that held Lenin's attention
from 1905 to 1917, leading him to conclude that they could-and
would. This book explores the time in which Lenin initiated his use
of the electorate, beginning with the Marxist roots of Lenin's
politics, and then details his efforts to lead the deputies of the
Russian Social Democratic Labor Party in the First and Second State
Dumas, concluding with Russia's first experiment in representative
democracy from 1906 to 1907. During this time, Lenin had to address
issues such as whether to boycott or participate in undemocratic
elections, how to conduct election campaigns, whether to enter into
electoral blocs and the related lesser of two evils dilemma, how to
keep deputies accountable to the party, and how to balance
electoral politics with armed struggle. Lenin later said that the
lessons of that work were 'indispensable' for Bolshevik success in
1917, which means that this detailed analysis of that period is
crucial to any thorough understanding of Leninism.
