Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Political Education, Vol. 4: The Chief Stages in the History of the C. P. S. U
The historical roots of Bolshevism go back to the revolutionary circles which Lenin and his comrades created in the 'nineties of the last century. The organisation and first steps of the work of these revolutionary circles took place in circumstances of continual struggle against both the open enemies of the working class and opportunist tendencies inside the labour movement.
Bolshevism grew up and strengthened itself in the struggle against these enemies. At the dawn of the Russian Labour Movement the biggest part in this struggle was played by the Union of Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class, founded by Lenin in 1895, and by the paper Iskra (the Spark), founded by him in 1900, which organised the calling of the Second Congress of the party, the Congress at which Bolshevism was born.
