Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I'm currently going through the Prolewiki reading list for beginners, after I finish it I would love to read up on the Russian revolution. Not looking for a massive tome, but something in between being general but not overly specific and dense that I can't get through in let's say a month or 2. Thanks!

History of the CPSU (B) A Short Course is good.

Edit: Accidentally linked the wrong PDF.

The book by the same title - The Russian Revolution by Rosa Luxemburg.

It’s a critique, but it provides a great dialectical analysis of the Revolution and why it happened in its conditions.

Technically not a book but a podcast, but I find it a great resource on the subject: https://rss.com/podcasts/sovietpod/
