Josef V. Stalin Collected Works of Josef Stalin

Produktbeskrivelse

This edition of the English translation of J. V. Stalin's Works has been reproduced faithfully from the text of the English-based on the Russian edition-prepared by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute of the Central Committee, C.P.S.U. Iskra Books , the imprint of the Center for Communist Studies , has chosen to publish the full series of the Collected Works due to an academic scarcity of the materials, an increasing inaccessibility of used copies of the original Foreign Languages Publishing House editions of the 1950s, and a growing scholarly and practical interest in the writings and ideas of one of the Twentieth Century's most impactful socialist heads of state. Stalin's Works are both pedagogically accessible and theoretically important, and they deserve to be studied not only as world-historical and practical applications of the development of Marxist-Leninist political theory, but - especially in an era where the rise of hegemonic imperialism and the decay of capitalism lead to an increasing global fascism - also as political-theoretical texts in their own right; as the core theoretical works underpinning extant socialist state governance, policy, legislation, and practice.
