Acknowledgements
My thanks to Esther Leslie for suggesting my name as a contributor to the excellent Critical Lives series; thanks also to Michael Leaman and Reaktion Books for patient and (when needed) not-so-patient encouragement. My thinking about Lenin has been greatly influenced by discussions over the past few years with many colleagues, too numerous to mention, but all equally committed to ‘the search for the historical Lenin’. The first draft of the present book underwent a close and critical reading by Julie Cumming; later drafts benefited from the comments of Barbara Allen, Paul Le Blanc, Manny Ness, Erik van Ree, and Ron Suny. The final draft received a much-needed once-over from Ariadne Lih.
This book is dedicated to Julie Cumming, Emelyn Lih, Ariadne Lih, and to the memory of Morgana.
Critical Lives Series
