' No matter what one thinks of Bolshevism, it is undeniable that the Russian Revolution is one of the greatest events in human history, and the rule of the Bolsheviki a phenomenon of worldwide importance.' John Reed, 1st January 1919. Reed, Ten Days that Shook the World) This year marks the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution. From a Marxist point of view, the Bolshevik Revolution was the greatest single event in world history.
For the first time, if we exclude the heroic but tragic episode of the Paris Commune, the masses overthrew the old regime and began the great task of the socialist transformation of society. Like the French Revolution of the 18th century and the English Revolution in the 17th century, the Russian Revolution had to pass through a series of stages before it reached its culmination. This was a learning process in which masses looked to a number of different options, parties and leaders, discarding one after another before they were able to take power into their own hands.

Yet by October the Bolsheviks were strong enough to lead millions of workers and peasants to the seizure of power. The apologists of capitalism and their obedient lackeys in right wing Labour claim that the collapse of the USSR signified the demise of socialism. But what failed in Russia was not socialism but a caricature of socialism. Contrary to the oft-repeated slanders, the Stalinist regime was the antithesis of the democratic regime established by the Bolsheviks in 1917.
The October revolution was neither a coup nor a conspiracy, but the organised expression of the will of the overwhelming majority which had striven for nine months to find a solution to its problems through Soviet power. It is important that all those who were fighting for a better world today should make a serious study of the lessons of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. In order to aid this task we have decided to produce a reading list of those titles that seemed to us to be of greatest use to the student of Bolshevism and the Russian Revolution. The anniversary of the revolution will inevitably be a signal for an intensification of the campaign of the litigation directed against the Russian Revolution and the Bolshevik Party by the enemies of socialism. The works we have recommended will serve as a useful antidote to this poisonous tirade, providing a comprehensive answer to the calumnies of the counterrevolutionaries. We recommend it to you with every possible enthusiasm.
