Lenin's work was quite simply colossal: turning a handful of agitators into the new princes of the red aristocracy in a short twenty years in evidence of clearly extraordinary political talent. At a time when the Russians, in indifference and failure, are burying poor Nicholas II on the one hand, and on the other are getting ready to discard Ulyanov's mummy that troubles a Kremlin populated with ghosts, this Lenin of Hélène Carrère d'Encausse will set the record straight.
