Collected Works Volume 6

The volume includes Material for the Preparation of the Programme of the R.S.D.L.P., which reflects the struggle waged by Lenin in the Editorial Board of Iskra for the working out of a evolutionary programme for the party of the working class. A considerable part of the volume consists of works dealing with the question of agrarian relations and the peasantry, the theory of the alliance of the working class with the peasantry: “The Agrarian Programme of Russian Social Democracy”, the pamphlet, To the Rural Poor, and other works. The national question and the struggle against bourgeois and petty-bourgeois nationalism are dealt with in the articles, “The National Question in Our Programme”, “Does the Jewish Proletariat Need an ‘Independent Political Party’?”, and other writings. The present volume contains the following works directed against the Socialist-Revolutionaries: “Revolutionary Adventurism”, “The Basic Thesis Against the Socialist-Revolutionaries”, “Why the Social-Democrats Must Declare a Determined and Relentless War on the Socialist-Revolutionaries”, and others.
