During his time in the city, Lenin formed a close relationship with Apollinariya Yakubova, a revolutionary known as the \"primeval force of the Black Earth\" by her comrades. This book, written by a former curator of the Russian collections at the British Library, delves into the story of Lenin's relationship with Yakubova for the first time. It also sheds light on Lenin's political thought and the formation of his worldview, which had a profound impact on the twentieth century. The book reveals Lenin's London-based accomplices and political rivals, providing new insights into his life and work. It includes archival discoveries, photographs, and details of the Russian revolutionaries and international police spies who gathered in the east end of London, known as the \"Little Russian Island.\" With a wealth of new archival material, this book is a valuable addition to our understanding of Lenin the man and the roots of the Russian revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 526g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 148 x 222 x 26 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781784538620                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr RobertHenderson","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44094190616826,"sku":"9781784538620","price":34.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/7b73aecba3efb554ebb2864a3e96c075.jpg?v=1624498357","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/spark-that-lit-the-revolution-lenin-in-london-and-the-politics-that-changed-the-world","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
