Stalin Library

    "Leninism is Marxism of the era of imperialism and the proletarian revolution. To be more exact, Leninism is the theory and tactics of the proletarian revolution in general, the theory and tactics of the dictatorship of the proletariat in particular."

The Foundations of Leninism (1924)



    In the texts that follow the reader will note that nearly all items are available as .PDF files. Although these files are larger than the .html files (and require more time to download), the .PDF files allow for greater reader "interaction" with the material at hand, in particular, the ability to "underline" or "highlight", albeit only "digitally", specific passages of a given document. This is as close as one can get to having the book in hand. The .html titles listed below do NOT exhaust the content of the material available in any particular volume of the official edition of Stalin's Works, which span the period 1901 - January 1934. However, the .PDF version of a given volume does contain everything present in that volume. A complete listing of the contents in all of the volumes of Stalin's Works is also available in a .pdf file.
