A hundred years is enough (Weekly Worker, Supplement, Issue 1507, September 19, 2024)
“Three books, all published in 1924, laid the ideological groundwork for a Lenin cult, which is still responsible for the confessional sects and academic historians alike getting the Bolsheviks and the Russian Revolution so wrong. Lars T Lih shows that there was no Hegel moment, no April theses break, no conversion to Trotsky’s theory of permanent revolution. Lenin and the Bolsheviks consistently upheld revolutionary social democracy.”

Two, three, many Lenins (Anti CapitalistResistance, 14 February 2024). Review of Lenin: The Heritage We (Don’t) Renounce. Eds.

Lenin’s laughter. By Ilya Budraitskis (New Lef Review, Issue 140/141, March-June 2023). Review of Lev Danilkin, Lenin: Pantokrator solnechnyh pylinok [Lenin: Pantocrator of Solar Dust] (Moscow, Molodaya Gvardiya, 2017, 909 p.). “A new Russian biography of the Bolshevik leader, in the form of a notable contribution to postmodern literature.”

Socialism and revolutionary democracy: Lenin’s legacy for our time of catastrophe. By Paul Le Blanc (Links: Journal for Socialist Renewal, 5 February 2024). “The overarching theme involves the democratic qualities and continuing relevance of Lenin’s orientation. Within that framework, we will touch first on why Lenin has often been seen so negatively, and then sketch his actual political and organizational views, briefly tracing how this played out in the Russian Revolution of 1917.”

Lenin for the New Year. By Dominic Alexander (Counterfire, 28 December 2023). “As the 100th anniversary of Lenin’s death approaches, here are ten books to help renew the Leninist tradition for the crises ahea.”

Lenin, Elections & Socialist Hegemony (Rebel, March 9, 2021, 86 p.). “… Seán Mitchell provides a close reading of Bolshevik electoral work: exploring the unique and persistent approach to elections that Lenin and his followers utilised as a critical and necessary complement to the mass, collective, self-activity that was the bedrock of Bolshevism.”
