How a new ruling class learns to govern a vast nation in the wake of revolution.

This study compiles Lenin’s program address and surrounding material to illuminate the practical problems the Soviet government faced and the plans to solve them.

This edition presents a focused look at organizing a new society, from managing production to disciplining labor, building a public press for economic emulation, and creating a workable system of state control. It explores why the transition required both steady discipline and flexible experimentation, and how the Soviets aimed to handle the challenges of a vast, war-torn country.

How the book frames the main tasks of organizing a socialist state in Russia after the revolution.
Key ideas on increasing productivity, education, and labor discipline during the transition.
Discussion of management, accounting, and control methods intended to replace old capitalist practices.
Strategies for public publicity, emulation between communes, and the role of model communities.

Ideal for readers interested in early Soviet history, political theory, and the practical challenges of building a socialist economy from a wartime, post-revolution context.
