      title = {Lenin and the making of the Soviet state : a brief history  with documents /},
      abstract = {Vladimir Ilich Lenin (1870 - 1924) led the first  successful revolt against market-based liberal democracy  and founded the Soviet State in 1917, serving as the new  nation s chief architect and sole ruler for the next five  years. This collection of primary sources allows readers to  learn about Lenin through his own words and emphasizes  Lenin s actions rather than his ideology. Jeffrey Brooks  and Georgiy Chernyavskiy have translated newly available  documents that make it possible to provide a more accurate  portrait of a ruthless political strategist whose actions  created a new political, economic, social, and cultural  system that in its heyday challenged the military,  technological, and cultural might of the United States.  Document headnotes, a chronology, questions for  consideration, and a selected bibliography offer additional  pedagogical support and encourage students to analyze the  actions and beliefs of a man who transformed world history  and whose legacy continues to affect social and political  movements throughout the world.},
