ABSTRACT

The two items brought together in this book complement each other and form a unity for those who wish to study particular aspects of the early period of the Bolshevik revolution. Moreover, these two items enable one to locate a certain point in the development of the theoretical conception of Bukharin. In so far as Bukharin was considered to be one of the major theorists of Bolshevism this book will also shed light upon how the Bolsheviks viewed themselves in this period.
