Dear subscriber,
Mehring Books is pleased to announce Tsar to Lenin, the documentary film record of the Russian Revolution, is now available for rental and purchase on Amazon Prime's streaming service.
First released in 1937, Herman Axelbank's film ranks among the twentieth century's greatest film documentaries. It presents an extraordinary cinematic account of the Russian Revolution—from the mass uprising which overthrew the centuries-old Tsarist regime in February 1917, to the Bolshevik-led insurrection eight months later that established the first socialist workers' state, and the final victory in 1921 of the new Soviet regime over counter-revolutionary forces after a three-year-long civil war. | | | 100 YEARS OF THE LEFT OPPOSITION | | | "The issues that were fought out in the 1920s and the 1930s had a profound impact on the course of the last century, and, therefore, the conditions under which we live today."
David North, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, October 24, 2023 | | | | NEW! Socialist Internationalism and the Struggle against Zionism and Imperialism | The October 24 lecture at the University of Michigan is part of a series of events within the US and internationally commemorating the 100th anniversary of the October 1923 founding of the Left Opposition in the Soviet Union under Leon Trotsky's leadership.
This marked the beginning of the most consequential political struggle of the 20th century, that is, the struggle led by Leon Trotsky against the bureaucratic degeneration of the Communist Party and the Soviet state under the Stalinist regime, and the betrayal of the international program and principles upon which the 1917 October Revolution was based.
| | | New this fall from Mehring Books | | | | Stop Israel's Genocide against Gaza! The Zionist state of Israel, with the backing of every imperialist power on the planet, has launched a genocidal assault on Gaza.
But Israel's war on the Palestinians is provoking an eruption of outrage across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and internationally.
The urgent need of the hour is the development of a united mass movement of the international working class against the capitalist warmongers and for socialism. | | | | Coming Soon: Mehring Books Holiday Sale!
