520 _aPavel Axelrod, who before he became a Menshevik worked closely with Lenin, said of him in 1910 that "there is not another man who for twenty-four hours of the day is taken up with the revolution, who has no thoughts but thoughts of revolution, and who even in his sleep, dreams of nothing but revolution."1 He might have added: writes of nothing but revolution. For revolution was, and. remained, the leitmotif of all that Lenin wrote. And he was astonishingly prolific as a writer. He was three months short of fifty-four years old when he died in 1924, and much of his fairly short life was invested in practical leadership of the Bolshevik Party and in directing the regime it created, and the Communist International, after the party came to power in Russia in 1917. Yet, his total literary output in the latest, fifth, Soviet edition of his collected writings,? comprising speeches, correspondence, and preparatory materials as well as published books, pamphlets, and articles, comes to fifty-five solid volumes.
