The present anthology is a collection of articles written by prominent leaders of the Bolshevik Party in response to Trotsky’s attempt to revise the history of the Bolshevik Revolution, the Bolshevik Party and the guiding ideology of Leninism in 1924-25, immediately after the death of Lenin. The contributors include Stalin, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Krupskaya, Bukharin, Sokolnikov and Kuusinin. The anthology also includes a brief response from Trotsky, where he tries to hide his underhanded attempts to revise Leninism and smuggle in Trotskyism and finally the ultimate response from the Central Committee of the RCP (B), which clearly exposes these vain attempts of Trotsky. We have reprinted the book as published by the Communist Party of Great Britain in May 1925.
The collection is particularly important because it includes criticisms of Trotskyism from the likes of Zinoviev, Kamenev and Bukharin, who later deviated from Leninism and played the role of renegades to Soviet Socialism Read More..
