Is there a place I can find the writing's of Lenin for free?

Hello comrades, I have finished my A level exams so can now stop throwing lots of useless junk information that the bourgeois exam board want me to know and start reading up on things I can actually learn from.

I've never read any books wrote by Lenin and would really like too. I don't have the money to buy any though so was wondering if they might be avaliable online for free. I've tried looking but seem unable too. Any links would be gladly appreciated.

Apparently the Soviet Union's foreign sector would send you a free shipment of Lenins' collected works all the way up to its' dissolution, if you called them for it.

As for now, Marxists.org (http://marxists.org/) is a free database of marxist writings, including Lenin's. Despite the fact that its a browser based database and browser-based databases are horrifically cruel to the eyes, its pretty good. You should check it out.

MIA (above) is extensive

archive.org has ebook formats and pdfs which might be preferable to read, although it can be a pain to find things:

Thank you comrades, these websites are very helpful.

For a moment I thought that I wouldn't be able to find any of these writings for free, how ironic that would be!

Marxists.org is pretty good, though it's great disadvantage is that you have to read on screen (which I personally hate for large texts). If you want them in print form, ask a comrade or check out if you can get them at a library you have access to. It's not that unlikely to find Lenin's collected works at a university library (I did at mine).

You may be able to order in books at your library.

The 'bourgeois' exam board don't give you junk, just useful information that has been packaged and window-dressed in a fashion that makes it completely boring or repulsive.

Also I would recommend, if you haven't already, that you acquaint yourself with a perspective that is benignly critical of Lenin in order to get the full picture of him.
