Paul Le Blanc on Tamás Krausz's 'Reconstructing Lenin': Sorting
through Lenin’s legacy <http://links.org.au/node/4330>
*/Reconstructing Lenin: An Intellectual Biography/*
By Tamás Krausz
New York: Monthly Review Books, 2015
564 pages;
Review by *Paul Le Blanc*
March 10, 2015 – /Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal/ --
This edition of Tamás Krausz’s study of Russian revolutionary Vladimir
Ilyich Lenin is compelling and imposing in more than one way. It is not,
strictly speaking, an intellectual biography. So much is offered in this
remarkable volume, however, that many readers will not complain that
they are not actually treated to a chronological narrative tracing the
evolution of Lenin’s thought.

Links seeks to promote the international exchange of information,
experience of struggle, theoretical analysis and views of political
strategy and tactics within the international left. It is a forum for
open and constructive dialogue between active socialists coming from
different political traditions. It seeks to bring together those in the
international left who are opposed to neoliberal economic and social
policies. It aims to promote the renewal of the socialist movement in
the wake of the collapse of the bureaucratic model of "actually existing
socialism" in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
