Summary: Brian Wells, Esquire, reviews "Foundations of Leninism"
Comment: This is book that was originally written in Russian in 1924. It was first published in English in 1953 from the Foreign Languages Publishing House in Moscow. However, following the eclipsing of the legacy of Joseph Stalin during the Khruschev era the publication was allowed to lapse. The Enlish translation was only taken up again by the People' Publication House in Peking in 1964.

A collection of lectures delivered at Sverdlov Univeristy by Joseph Stalin in 1924, this book is important in the present day as a early presentation of the problems facing the young Soviet Union. The book outlines the first tenets of the theory of "socialism in one counrty" which aould have the Soviet people save their nation from world-wide forces of reaction by building a strong independent socialist state. This was a break from the previous Soviet dogma of world-wide revolution which alleged that the Soviet Union could only save itself by encouraging proletatrian revolutions in other countries. Because Leon Trotsky adhered closely to the world-wide revolution theory, this book can be seen as the opening shot in the epic battle within the Communist party of the Soviet Union between the Trotsky and Stalin wings of the party.
