A landmark work of first-hand historical testimony, Moscow Under Lenin presents Alfred Rosmer's vivid eyewitness account of the Soviet capital during the revolutionary years of the early 1920s. Rosmer, a prominent French syndicalist and close associate of Lenin, chronicles the inner workings of the Communist International (Comintern), offering an intimate portrait of the key figures, ideological debates, and political struggles that shaped the nascent Soviet state. Translated by Ian H. Birchall and introduced by Tamara Deutscher, this edition brings Rosmer's sharp, authoritative observations to an English-speaking audience with all the urgency and conviction of a committed participant. The narrative cuts through Cold War mythology to present a nuanced, on-the-ground view of revolutionary Moscow, making it an indispensable primary source for anyone serious about understanding the formative period of twentieth-century communism.
