The SOVIETS AT WORK
The International position of the Russian Soviet Republic and the Fundamental Problems of the Socialist Revolution
By NIKOLAI LENIN PREMIER, RUSSIAN SOVIET REPUBLIC
FIFTH EDITION
Published by THE RAND SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE 7 East 15th Street, New York 1919
Foreword
FOREWORD
The "Soviets at Work" is one of the most important documents which the Revolution in Russia has produced. It stands out not only for its incisive clearness but also because of its calm tone. While it is a piece of polemic literature, it is free from invective that marks most controversial writing.
The present, the fifth edition, has been extensively revised with the help of Dr. Dubrovsky, and the resultant work is a much-improved translation. While there are deviations from the texts as published in the first four editions, these are in no way modifications of Lenine's texts. They are in fact truer and clearer versions of the texts as originally published in Pravda.

THE RAND BOOK STORE
THE RAND BOOK STORE is located on the ground floor of the People's House, and its collection of Socialist and radical books and magazines cannot be excelled anywhere in America.

All books that are part of progressive thought are sure to be found on the shelves of THE RAND BOOK STORE.
SPECIAL LIBRARIES
One of the important features of THE RAND BOOK STORE is the selection of libraries on special topics to meet the demands from all over the country for recommended reading. The Rand Book Store has enlisted some of the leading scholars to prepare lists on such subjects as Socialism, Labor, American History, European History, Economics, Sociology, Philosophy, Science, Education, etc.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
THE RAND BOOK STORE will be glad to take subscriptions for all magazines and newspapers published in the United States and Europe, and assures prompt service.
INCOME DEVOTED TO EDUCATION
