Collected Works of Josef Stalin

The Collected Works of Josef Stalin: Volume 4 is an important chronicle of the revolutionary years from 1917 to 1920-a period marked by the consolidation of Soviet power, civil war, and the fierce struggle against imperialist intervention. Volume 4 captures Stalin's critical contributions as both a theorist and a leader in the newly established socialist state, offering readers a window into the strategic and practical challenges faced by the Bolsheviks in the wake of the October Revolution.From his speeches on the national question and the defense of Soviet federalism to his directives on military strategy during the civil war, Stalin's writings in this volume reveal a revolutionary mind committed to the survival and success of the proletarian state. His incisive analyses of counter-revolutionary threats, his unwavering support for the Red Army, and his calls for unity among the oppressed nationalities of the former Russian Empire underscore his role in fortifying the Soviet Republic against both internal and external enemies.For scholars, organizers, and revolutionaries alike, Volume 4 offers not just historical documentation but a profound study of revolutionary praxis during times of upheaval and war. This critical republication by Iskra Books ensures that Stalin's foundational contributions remain accessible to new generations committed to understanding the theory and practice of socialist construction.
