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.
