The present collection consists of articles and speeches by V. I. Lenin shedding light on the events in Russia from the period of the bourgeois-democratic revolution in February 1917 to the Great October Socialist Revolution. The works included in this volume give a Marxist assessment of the bourgeois-democratic revolution, showing its specific features, characterizing the struggle of classes and parties, and exposing the imperialist nature of the First World War and the anti-popular essence of the Provisional Government. The material in the collection brings out the events of 1917 to show how the February bourgeois-democratic revolution developed into the October Socialist Revolution. The collection includes editorial notes and a name index.

This collection of Lenin's writings and speeches opens up with a preface by N. K. Krupskaya, Lenin's wife and fellow-revolutionary, a prominent figure of the Soviet state; she wrote it especially for this collection of Lenin's articles. An excerpt from the book My Recollections of Lenin written by Clara Zetkin, an outstanding leader of the German and international labor movement, is given as an appendix.

This collection contains correspondence between Lenin and Gorky and other material revealing their long-standing friendship. "Gorky by his great works of art has bound himself... closely to the workers' movement in Russia and throughout the world." - Lenin "There are men whose significance no human word can do justice to..." "Such a man, not only for Russia (alone), but for the whole world, for the whole of our planet, is Vladimir Ilyich. I think that no matter how many fine words we speak about him, we can never describe, never define the significance of his work, his energy, his penetrating mind, has for all mankind - and not only for us." - Gorky

These major writings on the ideology and practice of anarchism have a special value in showing the Marxist position against anarchism. Marx and Engels center their attack upon the followers of Bakunin, while Lenin's writings are devoted largely to syndicalist and "economist" trends in the labor movement, and to sectarian and "leftist" tendencies in the Communist movement during and after the Russian revolution of 1917. This collection was originally published in the Soviet Union in 1972.
