The
SOVIETS AT WORK

The International position of the Russian Soviet Republic
and the Fundamental Problems of the Socialist Revolution

By
NIKOLAI LENIN
PREMIER, RUSSIAN SOVIET REPUBLIC

FIFTH EDITION

Published by
THE RAND SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE

1919

Foreword

FOREWORD

The "Soviets at Work" is one of the most important documents which the Revolution in Russia has produced. It stands out not only for its incisive clearness but also because of its calm tone. While it is a piece of polemic literature, it is free from invective that marks most controversial writing.

The present, the fifth edition, has been extensively revised with the help of Dr. Dubrovsky, and the resultant work is a much-improved translation. While there are deviations from the texts as published in the first four editions, these are in no way modifications of Lenine's texts. They are in fact truer and clearer versions of the texts as originally published in Pravda.

All books that are part of progressive thought are sure to be found on the shelves of THE RAND BOOK STORE.

One of the important features of THE RAND BOOK STORE is the selection of libraries on special topics to meet the demands from all over the country for recommended reading. The Rand Book Store has enlisted some of the leading scholars to prepare lists on such subjects as Socialism, Labor, American History, European History, Economics, Sociology, Philosophy, Science, Education, etc.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

THE RAND BOOK STORE will be glad to take subscriptions for all magazines and newspapers published in the United States and Europe, and assures prompt service.

INCOME DEVOTED TO EDUCATION
