FACTS OF LENIN'S LIFE

Vladimir Ilyitch Ulianov-Lenin
was born on April %, 1870, in the
town of Simbrisk. His ancestors
we're peasants. He graduated from
Simbirsk college in 1887, receiving
the highest ratings in all subjects.
That fall he was expelled from
Kasan University, which he had
just entered, for participation in
student movements. In 1891, he
passed his examination in the Law
Faculty at Petersburg and obtain
ed the degree of Assistant Bar
rister. In 1888 Lenin began to
study Marx.
By 1898, when comrade Lenin
moved to st. Petersburg, he was
already . matured revolutionary
leader. He went abroad for the
first time In April, 1896, to estab-
lsh revolutionary connections.
After his return in September he
was arrested, and while in prison
began his work, The Development
Of Capitalists in Russia. He was
sentenced TO exile in January 1897.
Here he was Joined by his friend
and comrade, Krupskaya.
Lenin led in the, formation Of
the Bolshevik Party In 1908, ana
since then carried on a struggle

against the Mensheviks. He re-
turned to Russia to take part in
the 1905 revolution, but after this
subsidized, on the insistence of the
comrades again went abroad. This
second period of exile was some
what shorter but a more difficult
period.
Already in 1910 there were
symptoms Of revival of the revo-
lutionary wave. Before and during
the war of 1914-1918, Lenin was
carrying on a fight against the
opportunism of the Second Inter
national and was building up the
organization and discipline of the
revolutionary forces. He laid the
foundation for the establishment
of the Communist International.
In 1917 Lenin returned to Rus
STA, where all Of his abilities and
long revolutionary experience were
thrown into the October Revolu-
ton. In 1918 was wounded by a
Social Revolutionist, but he re-
covered and returned to his work

Union and leading it through it's
first trying years.

Lenin's Collected

In order to give every active re-

The volumes so far published
and available in the present low

important of Lenin's writings.
"The 1skra Period" embodies the
theoretical capitalization of boil

formulates the feminist struggle
