Red Reviews: “The History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) - Short Course”
In his extraordinary work, The Foundations of Leninism, J.V. Stalin, the principal leader of the Soviet Union after Lenin, explained, “Theory is the experience of the working-class movement in all countries taken in its general aspect.” In other words, theory is based on the summation of practical experience.
