description: Volume 28 contains works written by Lenin between July 29, 1918 and early March 1919, the initial period of the Civil War and foreign intervention.In his classic The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky Lenin expounds his ideas on the Soviet state, analyses the essence of Soviet democracy as the highest form of democracy in class society, explains how Soviet democracy is diametrically opposed to bourgeois democracy, and exposes opportunism and the servility of Kautsky and other leaders of the Second International to imperialism. More on Soviet and bourgeois democracy may be found in “’Democracy’ and Dictatorship”, “Letter to American Workers”, “Letter to the Workers of Europe and America”, “Won and Recorded”, and in the theses and speeches on the founding of the Third International.Many items here are reports and speeches delivered at workers’ meetings, congresses of Soviets and trade unions, sittings of the All-Russia Central Executive Committee, the Moscow City Conference of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and elsewhere.
