Collected Works - Volume 10

The articles “The Reorganisation of the Party”, “The Armed Forces and the Revolution”, “The Proletariat and the Peasantry”, “The Dying Autocracy and New Organs of Popular Rule”, etc., which were published in Novaya Zhizn, a legal Bolshevik newspaper, define the tasks of the Party during the first Russian revolution. The pamphlet The Victory of the Cadets and the Tasks of the Workers’ Party and the articles written by Lenin after the defeat of the armed uprising in December 1905 sum up and generalise the experience of the first year of the revolution. In his Revision of the Agrarian Programme of the Workers’ Party, Lenin sets forth and substantiates the Bolshevik agrarian programme for confiscation of the landed estates and for ationalisation of all the land. This volume also contains “Our Tasks and the Soviet of Workers’ Deputies”, an article included in Lenin’s Collected Works for the first time.
