ABSTRACT
In the spring of 1872, five year after the appearance of the first German (Hamburg) edition of the Capital, it became possible for the progressive Russian intelligentsia and representatives of the working class of Russia to study the first volume of the great work of Kal Marx, the founder of scientific communism, in their own language. The Russian translation of Karl Marx’s work made available to the widest sections of the country’s democratic and revolutionary circles a genuinely scientific-philosophical analysis of the socio-political development of society and marked an important stage in the triumphant spread of Marxism in Russia. The Great October Socialist Revolution meant the putting of the great ideas of Karl Marx and Lenin into practice. It marked the beginning of the crisis of the colonial system of imperialism, and a truly victorious march of Marxism-Leninism across the planet began under its influence.
