In his "Memoirs", Vladimir Lenin, the icon of the Bolshevik Revolution, takes us on an exciting journey into his inner world, through which we discover the beginnings of the formation of his revolutionary thought, and learn about the factors that contributed to refining his personality and pushing him towards changing the course of history. We follow with Lenin the stages of his intellectual formation, starting with his study of rights and his exposure to the ideas of Karl Marx, all the way to his leadership of the "Marxist movement" in Russia and his exile to Siberia. From his "memoirs" we discern a deep understanding of the "class struggle" and "the state's role in it," and we reflect on the experience of the "Paris Commune" as the first practical application of the "socialist system." We witness with Lenin the decisive moments of the Bolshevik Revolution and the challenges he faced in order to implement his principles and build a new Soviet state.
