The Role of the Individual in History was first published in 1898, and occupies a very prominent place among those of Plekhanov's works in which he substantiates and defends Marxism and advocates the Marxian theory of social development. Georgi Valentinovich Plekhanov (1856-1918) was one of the leaders of Russian populism and after his emigration to Western Europe in 1880 became the foremost Russian Marxist abroad. He founded in 1883, together with Pavel Axelrod, the 'Group for the Liberation of Labor', the first Russian social democratic party, and in 1900 together with Lenin the 'Iskra', the first Russian Marxist newspaper, but a few years later broke with Lenin and sided with the Mensheviks.

A comprehensive study guide offering in-depth explanation, essay, and test prep for socialist and communist systems, including the Critique of Political Economy by Karl Marx. These several philosophers are recognized for creating socioeconomic analysis to view social conflict and class relations. As ideologies of the nineteenth-century, they helped to develop, inspire, and revolutionize elements of the labour and socialist movements and became the basis of Marxism-Leninism and Maoism and the dogma developed by Vladimir Lenin in Russia. Moreover, these ideas have had a profound impact on the scholarly world and have influenced fields such as archaeology, art history, media studies, political science, and sociology. This Bright Notes Study Guide includes notes and commentary on literary classics such as Babeuf's Philosophy Of Equality, Saint Simon's Doctrines, and The Labor Theory Of Value, helping students to thoroughly explore the reasons they have stood the literary test of time.

This volume is a comprehensive Handbook of Russian thought that provides an in-depth survey of major figures, currents, and developments in Russian intellectual history, spanning the period from the late eighteenth century to the late twentieth century. Written by a group of distinguished scholars as well as some younger ones from Russia, Europe, the United States, and Canada, this Handbook reconstructs a vibrant picture of the intellectual and cultural life in Russia and the Soviet Union during the most buoyant period in the country's history. Contrary to the widespread view of Russian modernity as a product of intellectual borrowing and imitation, the essays collected in this volume reveal the creative spirit of Russian thought, which produced a range of original philosophical and social ideas, as well as great literature, art, and criticism. While rejecting reductive interpretations, the Handbook employs a unifying approach to its subject matter, presenting Russian thought in the context of the country's changing historical landscape. This Handbook will open up a new intellectual world to many readers and provide a secure base for its further exploration.
