This title was first published in 1979. With the revival of interest in Marxist ideas over the past ten or so years, Evgeny Preobrazhensky, one of the leading political and intellectual figures to emerge from the Bolshevik Revolution, has become known to a far wider circle than just the occasional specialist in Soviet history. A glance at the bibliography of Preobrazhensky’s major writings at the end of this book will show a significant body of valuable material that remains accessible only to those who read Russian. The present book will go some way toward filling a gap in a collection of his works.
