Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin was a Russian Marxist, Bolshevik revolutionary, and Soviet politician. He was a member of the Politburo (1924-1929) and Central Committee (1917-1937), general secretary of the Executive Committee of the Communist International (Comintern, 1926-1929), and the editor in chief of Pravda (1918-1929), the journal Bolshevik (1924-1929), Izvestia (1934-1936), and the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. Initially a supporter of Joseph Stalin after Vladimir Lenin's death, he came to oppose a large number of Stalin's policies and was one of Stalin's most prominent victims during the "Moscow Trials" and purges of the Old Bolsheviks in the late 1930s. Includes: - Toward a Theory of the Imperialist State - The Russian Revolution and Its Significance - Anarchy and Scientific Communism - New Forms of the World Crisis - Theory and Practice from the Standpoint of Dialectical Materialism

First published in 1985. Although Bukharin wrote against the background of the Russian Revolution, the very change in political climate is always relevant. How exactly is the transition from capitalism to socialism conceived and achieved? Michael Haynes' study shows that the theoretical applicability of Bukharin’s ideas is still far from exhausted, and he provides a clear exposition of his main themes which does not shirk criticism. There can be no better introduction to the thought of this important theorist.

The book brings together Bukharin's key writings on socialism and its culture from the Manuscripts.

The two founding texts of the analysis of capitalism and imperialism in one volume, with annotation.

Drawing from Hoover Institution archival documents, Paul Gregory sheds light on how the world's first socialist state went terribly wrong and why it was likely to veer off course through the tragic story of Stalin's most prominent victims: Pravda editor Nikolai Bukharin and his wife, Anna Larina.

A sensation when published in Moscow and a bestseller in Europe, the memoirs of this remarkable woman--the widow of the charismatic Bolshevik leader Nikolai I. Bukharin--offer a new dimension to our understanding of Soviet history.
