Im Spätwerk Lenins verdichten sich Dringlichkeit und revolutionäre Schlagkraft in besonderer Weise. Dennoch stehen meist seine frühen Schriften im Rampenlicht. Der Philosoph und ausgezeichnete Lenin-Kenner Slavoj Žižek zeigt nun anhand ausgewählter Briefe, Reden und Notizen eine neue Seite des sowjetischen Regierungschefs, fernab von Personenkult und Verklärung. Anfang der Zwanzigerjahre, inmitten der letzten Wellen des russischen Bürgerkriegs, sah sich Lenin mit der größten politischen Herausforderung seines Lebens konfrontiert. Die junge Sowjetunion war nach außen wie nach innen schwach, isoliert und zerrüttet - eine neue, gemäßigte Politik musste her. In seiner scharfsichtigen, präzisen und unterhaltsamen Interpretation zieht Žižek eine Verbindung von den turbulenten Zeiten des jungen Staates bis zu gegenwärtigen ökonomischen Krisen. Angetrieben wird er von der Frage, was wir für unsere Situation von Lenin lernen können.

Scritto nell'immediata e concitata vigilia della Rivoluzione d'ottobre (che costrinse l'autore a interromperne la stesura) Stato e rivoluzione resta un punto di partenza essenziale per qualsiasi ulteriore approfondimento e aggiornamento della dottrina del marxismo. Qui Lenin, con il consueto pragmatismo, affronta da un punto di vista dottrinario, storico e anche pratico l'applicazione dei principi rivoluzionari, spaziando dai casi storici dei moti del 1848 e della Comune di Parigi (1871), sino alla più stringente attualità.
