 | The Non-Geometric Lenin: Essays on the Development of the Bolshevik Party 1910-1914 Subjects: Rossiiskaia sotsial-demokraticheskaia rabochaia partiia (bol’shevikov) -- History; Lenin Vladimir Il’ich 1870-1924; Russia -- Politics and government -- 1904-1914; This book is a collection of eleven essays dealing with important but little-studied episodes in Lenin's attempt to build a Bolshevik Party before 1914. It also deals with his defence of Roman Malinovsky, who turned out to be a police spy, and his romantic involvement with a fellow Bolshevik, Inessa Armand. The last three essays paint a picture of a 'non-geometric' Lenin and his little-known interests in food, holidaying and sports.
