“Out of this spark will come a flame.” Such was the strapline of Lenin’s newspaper Iskra (‘Spark’), which he founded in 1900 with a small group of comrades. How true those words were! Only 17 years later, Lenin and the Bolsheviks led the working class of Russia to power in the world’s first successful socialist revolution. Lenin’s success was based primarily on his profound grasp of Marxist theory.
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was described by John Reed – author of Ten Days that Shook the World, an eyewitness account of the Russian Revolution – as the most loved and most hated person alive. And this remains the case even a century since his death. Lenin was loved by hundreds of millions of people who wanted to change society. But he was hated by the ruling class and their apologists. The reason for this hatred is because Lenin was successful.
