Lenin on Global Historiography and the Global Historiography on Lenin


On the 100th anniversary of the Great Russian Revolution it is worth remembering Lenin's analysis of global and local history not only because he shaped global history but because he provided an analitical framework. Lenin’s analysis is an important component of the history of the revolution and its intellectual preconditions. Recalling some key elements of this conceptualisation of history is worthy of note since they are still relevant today in a broader sense. My short lecture of about 45–50 minutes aims at presenting the relationship between Russian and global history in Lenin's analysis and also revealing the elements of his theory that have become constitutive part of historical thinking.
