Work By Lenin I cant Find

[gilhyle]

In Mao's 'On Contradiction' there is a reference (Note 36) to

'V.I. Lenin Remarks on N.I. Bukharin's Economics of the Transition Period", Selected WOrkks Russ ed. Moscow-Leningrad 1931 Vol XI P.357

I dunno if I'm just being particularly dense, but I cant find that work either in Marxist.org, or in the paper version of the collected works. Can someone give me a link or a CW Volume reference

[Rosa Lichtenstein]

Raya Dunayevskaya quotes that work here:

http://www.marxists.org/archive/dunayevska...ev/dunayev3.htm (http://www.marxists.org/archive/dunayevskaya/works/phil-rev/dunayev3.htm)

This can be found on page 115 of that obscure book; a page later, in Note 217, she gives this reference (ommitted from the online version):

"Selected Works. Volume 8...". (p.315).

Although, Dunayevskaya does not say whether this is the same work!!

I do not have the Selected Works, so I cannot check.

I hope that is some help.

If not, I will try again.

Thanks Rosa, Yep I've looked at your reference and it seems to be to the same work, but there is no reference to a title or a date, only a selected works reference - unfortunately I only have the Collected Works. But I have been looking around 1920,1921 cos I thought bukharin's book was published in 1920....but maybe it was earlier, I'll keep looking.

I myself have the complete English set of Lenin's Collected Works (45 volumes). I am not sure if I have the work or not. It could have perhaps never been translated from the Russian, as the Russian edition of Lenin's Collected Works went into a fifth (the English version was based on the fourth Russian edition) edition of 55 volumes, so it obviously contains a good deal of stuff that never made it into the English edition.

If that's the case was it translated to Chinese or did Mao know Russian too? :blink:

Yep Ive found it in Russian, but not English. As to Mao, one wonders....according to that recent biography Mao followers hate so much (and it is a bit over the top) Mao did not speak any of the main dialects of Chinese, and only spoke the dialect of his region and had a constantly available translator.

So even if translated into the main Chinese dlialects, how did Mao get to read it, busy as he was marchin' round about ?

Wow, that set is usually pretty expensive. Only a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Marx set.

Yep Ive found it in Russian,

We have a few active forum members here who are fluent in Russian. If it isn't very long, you could ask them to translate it for you.
