Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was an enigmatic leader, a resolute and
audacious politician who had an immense impact on 20th-century
world history. Lenin's life and career have been at the centre of
much ideological debate for decades. The post-Soviet era has seen a
revived interest and re-evaluation of the Russian Revolution and
Lenin's legacy. This biography gives a fresh and original account
of Lenin's personal life and political career. Christopher Read
draws on a broad range of primary and secondary sources, making use
of archive material made available in the Glasnost and post-Soviet
eras. Focal points of this study are Lenin's revolutionary ascetic
personality; his exploitation of cultural, educational and agitprop
means; his relationship to Marxism; his changing class analysis of
Russia; and his "populist" instincts. This biography is a useful
introduction to one of the key figures of the Russian Revolution
and post-tsarist Russia.
