Lenin and the Bourgeois Press

The polemical writings of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin continue to set an unsurpassed standard of excellence for journalists and all representatives of the progressive press. They teach ideological consistency and develop the ability to link political issues of the moment to Marxist philosophical theory. They serve as an example of profound ·analysis of facts and reallife phenomena, of the perfect timing in the discussion of urgent topical questions, of perceptiveness and scientific precision in making conclusions and recommendations, and faultless political forecasting. They are a model of work packed with information from the most diverse fields: history, philosophy, natural science, literature, economics and technology. They are distinguished by graphic description and accuracy of political detail, by their vigour and the emotionally-charged language.
