About this book

Lenin Lives!: The Lenin Cult in Soviet Russia, Enlarged Edition by Tumarkin, Nina. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780674524316.

Was the deification of Lenin a show of spontaneous affection―or a planned political operation designed to solidify the revolution with the masses? This book provides a startling answer. Exploring the cult’s mystical, historical, and political aspects, Tumarkin demonstrates the galvanizing power of ritual in the establishment of the post-revolutionary regime. In a new Preface and Postscript, she brings the story up to date, considering the fall of the Soviet Union and Russia’s new democracy.
