  What Is to Be Done? [Burning Questions of Our Movement]

  2013 Reprint of 1929 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In "What Is to Be Done?", Lenin argues that the working class will not spontaneously become political simply by fighting economic battles with employers over wages, working hours and the like. To convert the working class to Marxism, Lenin insists that Marxists should form a political party, or "vanguard", of dedicated revolutionaries to spread Marxist political ideas among the workers. The pamphlet partly precipitated the split of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) between Lenin's Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks and is perhaps the hallmark of Leninism.

  Ten Days That Shook the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 858min

  Ten Days That Shook the World is John Reed's eyewitness account of the Russian Revolution. A contemporary journalist writing in the first flush of revolutionary enthusiasm, he gives a gripping record of the events in Petrograd in November 1917, when Lenin and the Bolsheviks finally seized power. Containing verbatim reports both of speeches by leaders and the chance comments of bystanders, set against an idealized backcloth of the proletariat, soldiers, sailors, and peasants uniting to throw off oppression, Reed's account is the product of passionate involvement and remains an unsurpassed classic of reporting. ungekürzt.

  Russian Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min

  The Russian Civil War is regarded as one of the most important occurrences in the 20th century. There were not one but many reasons that sparked the Civil War in Russia. The event is at times clubbed together with the Great War. The number of people who died in the Russian Civil War was so high that it shadowed the American Civil War. The end of tsars saw different areas of Russia clamoring for independence. Extremism and the arrogance of some swept aside all humanity and raged on Russia and her people. There was situation of complete chaos in Russia. The civil war was between the Red Army and the Whites. Although these two were the main parties who were at war with each other, there were several others who were revolting and fighting against them. The Bolsheviks, or the Red Army, won the war, while the Whites lost. World War I had left deep impacts on all the participating countries, and Russia was not spared. The vitality and enthusiasm with which they entered the war had them suffer many fatalities. Irrespective of the many reasons why the civil war happened, the consequences led to a new government and new thoughts of society and economy. The Bolsheviks wanted to uproot all the social problems that existed in the society because of the differences in class. They did succeed to some extent. Once tsarist rule came to an end, the Communist movement took over, which was frightening. The rule of the Communists did not last long, but its mere existence made it look like one of the important happenings in the 20th century. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani.

  The Czech Legion 1914-20 (eBook, PDF)

  The Czech Legion was not just a single military unit, but a volunteer army that fielded up to 100,000 troops on the Allied side on all three main fronts of the war. Since only the defeat of Austro-Hungary and Germany offered any hope for Czech national independence, they were amongst the most motivated and steadfast of the Allied forces. After the Bolshevik Revolution, they fought their way across Russia, captured the Russian national gold reserves and used this as a bargaining chip to force the Bolsheviks to allow them to return home. Today the Legion is recognised as the founding fathers of Czech nationhood. This very colourful force of World War I has never before been detailed in English and is illustrated with an astonishing array of never-before-published photographs.
