V. I. Lenin
About the Author
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov in 1870, was a towering figure in revolutionary politics and theory, whose writings profoundly shaped the course of 20th-century history. As the architect of the Bolshevik Revolution and the first leader of Soviet Russia, Lenin combined sharp intellectual rigor with unyielding commitment to Marxist principles, advocating for the overthrow of capitalist systems through organized proletarian action. His seminal works, including 'What Is to Be Done? [Burning Questions of Our Movement],' provided a blueprint for building a vanguard party to guide the working class toward socialism, critiquing reformist tendencies and emphasizing disciplined revolutionary strategy. Lenin's ideas continue to influence political discourse worldwide, inspiring movements for social justice and systemic change.
