Prague: Nákladem ?asopisu "Sociální demokrat", 1920. Octavo (19.5 Ś 14.3 cm). Original pictorial wrappers signed V. P.; 127, [1] pp. Frontispiece portrait of Lenin. Small nicks to wrapper edges and wear to spine extremities; still about very good. One of the first appearances in Czech of Lenin's key strategic treatise (another translation, by Josef Reiner, was published by Fr. Borovę that same year). Ironically, this work on the inadequacies of social democracy was published by the journal "Sociální demokrat." However, the list of other publications by the same publisher shows that its affinities were, in fact, far more radical. They include Bucharin's communist program, the constitution of the USSR, and numerous works on the Russian Revolution, as well as a negative work about the Czechoslovak Legion. With a striking drawn wrapper incorporating Soviet insignia and showing a worker triumphantly hissing the red flag atop a globe covered in red. The Czech National Library catalog identifies the translator, who is not mentioned in the book, as K. Horváth. Of the present edition, KVK and OCLC show copies at the Czech National Library, IISG, and Nanterre.

The two parts, apparently from different letters, are both on bifoliums: the first, numbered '2', is 4pp., 12mo; the second, numbered '5', is 4pp., 16mo. In good condition, lightly aged. The second bifolium signed at end: 'Best Wishes to Mrs C. | Yrs | J B. Askew'. Written in a neat if somewhat eccentric hand. The first bifolium begins: '[ ] is very sore. Nothing will be done at the Congress except Bebel [August Bebel (1840-1913), German socialist] will speak and move a resolution to the effect that the Party stands by its present program and tactics. There has not been a word paid as to the possibility of asking B. to reconsider his position in the party. I think after K's book this would be unnecessary. K's position is so much the stronger, it must win. And his book according to Dietz the publisher is selling faster than B's, which few people expected. I am going to review the book in the Social Dem. next month or so I think. I think of making it a general review of the Controversy whether this will be possible or not I dont know.' The first part continues with reference to ''s Review in Fabian news'; 'the suicidal manner Justice is running an anti-Semitic campaign' (he has 'written to say they must choose between Soc: Dem: & Anti-S. Either the Jews are the principle evil or capitalism'); Hyndman, who is 'at the old game again'. He is 'going fm the Congress to Hannover tonight for the week', and will 'write an acc. In Justice and possibly the Newcastle Daily Leader a rather Whig organ from a non party standpoint'. The first bifolium ends with news from Germany ('full of scandals here ministerial crises- official denials. So on.'), concluding with a reference to 'Dr. von Miquel [Johann von Miquel (1828-1901)] Prussian Finance Minister & Ex-Communist & friend of Marx now organizer of the Anti-Soc: Dem: campaign', who is 'much implicated in he press activity of a certain von Zedlitz who [ ]'. The second bifolium begins: '[ ] Julius Motteler speak? I have just had a letter from Bach who is very despondent over the S.D.F. Which he says is so stupid. He was very angry with their tactic in the Labour Rep: Conference, as he asked why he didnt put a motion forward condemning the war, as he thought they ought to lay stress on that rather than on resolutions about the class war but told him he hadnt time. I must say the S.D.F. Are maddening with their silly abuse of the I.L.P. You have seen they accuse the I.L.P. of treachery. I wrote a letter to Justice protesting against this & defending the I.L.P. on the strength of what I had seen in Justice.' He continues with reference to ''s article in the May Day no. of "Justice"' and the relative threats posed by England and Russia. 'Russia now is proceeding very rapidly on the lines of capitalistic development and it is not impossible that the autocracy may derive a fresh lease of life from it especially as the middle class are more afraid of the proletariat than of the autocracy'. He ends on the questions of 'the minutes of the Congress of the German Party' and 'the result of the Parl: Com: on municipal Trading'.

(Parvus gehörte früh zur Gruppe um Lenin und Trotzki. Im Jahr 1905 nahm er mit Trotzki an der Revolution in Sankt Petersburg teil. Er wurde Anfang 1906 verhaftet. Auf dem Weg in die Verbannung in Sibirien gelang ihm die Flucht, und er kehrte nach Deutschland zurück. Hier wurde er 1907 in einen Finanzskandal verwickelt, bei dem ihm von den Bolschewiki vorgeworfen wurde, dem Schriftsteller Maxim Gorki zustehende Vergütungen aus Autorenrechten in Höhe von 180.000 Mark unterschlagen zu haben. Die Affäre führte zu seinem Ausschluss aus der SPD und zerstörte dauerhaft seine Reputation. Bekannt wurde er, als er zusammen mit deutschen Regierungsstellen im Jahre 1917 die Reise Lenins im plombierten Wagen durch das Deutsche Reich nach Russland organisierte. - SEHR SELTEN !!).

Broadside, measuring 550 Ś 355 mm, printed to recto and verso, with decorative header. Revolutionary broadside reproducing the text of a foundational document of the Third Communist International, which was presented and confirmed at the constitutional first Congress of the Comintern on 2-6 March 1919. Later known as the "Manifesto of the Communist International", the document calls upon the proletarians of the world to rally around Lenin's principles for the revolutionary struggle against the bourgeois regimes and was signed by all delegates of the Congress. The text of the manifesto was written by Leo Trotsky, who personally presented and declaimed the text at the meeting of the Congress. It was printed in "Pravda" following the Congress, and evidently broadsides such as these were sent to local cells of the Bolshevik Party and to various provincial Soviets to bolster support for Bolshevik policies. - With an article by Lenin printed in the third column verso, a short speech on the occasion of the Congress entitled "Zavoevannoe i zapisannoe" ("Conquered and recorded") by Lenin (mistakenly signed "P. Lepin" by the printer). - Old creases; some fraying to upper edge and one tiny hole at fold, with no loss to text; otherwise very good, printed on sturdy white paper. A scarce survival which we are unable to trace in either Russian or Western institutions.

8vo (155 x 230 mm). 2 vols. (8), 286 (instead of 288) pp. (4), 428 pp. Contemporary maroon cloth with gilt titles to spine. Three of only four issues (in two volumes) of the "Dawn", an extremely uncommon journal of revolutionary Marxism edited by the Iskra group in Stuttgart. Here Vladimir Ulyanov famously first used the pseudonym "Lenin" to sign a published article (he had begun to use the pseudonym in letters in 1901). - Issue no. 1 contains an article "Sluchainyi zametki" (Random observations) signed by the earlier pseudonym "T. Kh", which he also used for two articles in issue no. 2-3. The third long article, "The Agrarian Question and the 'Critics of Marx'" ("Gg. 'kritiki' v agrarnom voprose") is signed "Lenin". The journal propagated the ideas of revolutionary Marxism and criticized the Narodniks and other more moderate movements. Among the leading contributors were G. Plekhanov, Z. Zasulich, P. Aksel'rod, Iu. Martov, A. Potresov and others. - Issue no. 1 also contains a translation of the memoirs of Karl Kautsky. Also included is a four-page pamphlet (single folded leaf) about a dispute within the editorial team, entitled "Kto vydumal plokhuiu vydumku' ("Who thought up the bad idea?"), written by the economist and philosopher Boris N. Krichevskii (1866-1919). Both volumes are from the famous collection of the Marxist bibliophile and scholar Chimen Abramsky (1916-2010), who fled to London from the Soviet Union in the early 1930s and became a leading specialist in both Judaica and socialist thinking. His collection, parts of which were auctioned after his death, has recently been commemorated in his son's biography, "The House of Twenty Thousand Books" (2014). - Bookplate of the London School of Economics, with withdrawal stamp and Chimen Abramsky's hand-written note inside front wrapper, noting that he exchanged these volumes in 1970. No. 1 one lacks the final leaf. Very scarce in the trade. - Emig p. 197. Schwarz p. 166.

Rare printed portrait signed by the father of Soviet Russia, Vladimir Lenin. One page, printed with a horizontal crease, inscribed by Lenin in the lower portion of the portrait, "VI Ulyanov (Lenin) 28.IV.1922." In very good condition. Matted and framed. The entire piece measures 17 inches by 31.75 inches. Widely considered one of the most significant and influential figures of the 20th century, Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (better known by his alias Lenin) served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia, and later the Soviet Union, became a one-party socialist state governed by the Soviet Communist Party. A Marxist, he developed a variant of the communist ideology known as Leninism.

Albumen print, ca. 115 x 85 mm, under brown cardboard matte (17 x 13 cm). A very rare example of a signed Lenin portrait. Dated in his own hand "26/V 1920" and signed in French as "Vladimir Oulianoff". Additional signature of the photographer, Moses Solomonovitch Nappelbaum (1869-1958), in pencil in the lower right corner of the cardboard matte. Nappelbaum shot the famous portrait at the Smolny Institute in St Petersburg in 1918. The present print shows typical graphic retouching by the artist to the background and lapel areas. A near-identical print, inscribed by Lenin on 15 April 1920, is in the Corrêa do Lago collection (Magia del Manoscritto catalogue, p. 206). - By tradition, this photograph was presented by Lenin to the English socialist politician George Lansbury (1859-1940), who had visited the Soviet Union in early 1920 and hat met the leader of the Revolution in Moscow on 22 February. Later that same year, Lansbury published a widely received account of his journey, "What I Saw in Russia", in which he gave a highly flattering portrayal of Lenin. - Occasional insignificant scuffs; dark areas show some silver mirroring due to the oxidative-reductive process. Nappelbaum's signature is rather faded, while that of Lenin remains stark and well-defined. - Provenance: Swiss private collection; accompanied by a description from Diana J. Rendell, Inc., Massachusetts.

8vo. 3 pp. on a bifolium. Includes envelope, addressed by Nadezhda Krupskaya. - Further includes a printed pamphlet: "Der Anonymus aus dem Vorwärts und die Sachlage in der Sozialdemokratischen Arbeiterpartei Russlands". 8vo. 12 pp. Rare, important letter in German, signed with the pseudonym "N. Lenin", addressed to Anton Nemec in Prague, the leader of the Czech Social Democrats, about organising the 6th All-Russian Conference of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP). Held in Prague in 1912, the conference would see the de-facto formation of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union when the Mensheviks were driven out of the RSDLP: - "Dear Comrade, you will be doing me a great service if you can help me with advice and action in the following matter. A number of organisations of our Party intend to call a conference (abroad - of course). The number of members of the conference will be about 20-25. Is there a possibility of organising this conference in Prague (to last about a week)? The most important thing for us is the possibility of organising it in extreme secrecy. No person, no organisation, should know about it. (It is a Social-Democratic conference, hence legal according to European laws, but the majority of the delegates do not have passports and cannot use their own names.) I earnestly beg you, dear comrade, if it is at all possible, to help us and tell me as quickly as possible the address of a comrade in Prague who (in the event of an affirmative reply) could make all the practical arrangements. It would be best if this comrade understood Russian - if this is impossible we can also reach agreement with him in German. I hope, dear comrade, that you will pardon me for troubling you with this request. I send you my thanks in anticipation [.]". - Traces of original horizontal and vertical folds. Includes the original envelope, addressed by Lenin's wife Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya (1869-1939) and postmarked Paris, 29 April. - Published in: Lenin, Werke, vol. 34, p. 445, no. 200 (with departures).

8vo. Altogether 5 pp. and 2 lines on 3 ff. (some notes in copying pencil on p. 6 in a different hand). Important autograph draft letters signed about the Zimmerwald Conference, calculating how many votes the central committee of the Bolshevik faction will have at the conference, criticising Karl Radek's proposed address, of which he has a copy, for its lack of references to the fight against chauvinism, referring to Schklowsky, to the Swiss socialist Robert Grimm, and offering advice to his unidentified correspondent. - The Zimmerwald Conference, later to be called "the founding myth of the Soviet Union", was held at the "Beau Séjour" Hotel in Zimmerwald, Switzerland, from 5 to 8 September 1915. It was the first of three international socialist conferences convened by anti-militarist socialist parties from countries that were originally neutral during World War I. Among the 37 members were Karl Radek, Leo Trotsky, Grigory Zinoviev, and Lenin. With the Zimmerwald Conference began the unravelling of the coalition between revolutionary socialists (the so-called "Zimmerwald Left") and reformist socialists in the Second International. - Traces of horizontal folding. Light browning to paper; edges a little frayed with a few insignificant tears, but very well preserved altogether.
