*From The Pen Of Early Soviet Culture Commissar Anatol Lunacharsky- Georgii Plekhanov

Click on title to link to early Bolshevik Culture and Education Commissar Anatol Lunacharsky's profile of Georgii Plekhanov from his 1923 "Revolutionary Silhouettes". Lunarcharsky may have been a "soft" Bolshevik but he had insights into the Bolshevik leadership (and, as here, the ex-Bolshevki leadership in the early pre-revolution of 1905 days of the 20th century) that helped explain the successes (and some of the subsequent political problems) of that leadership.
