Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Red Youth: Young Heroes of the Great Patriotic War documents the extraordinary achievements of the young men and women of the Soviet Union's anti-fascist resistance during the Second World War. The first volume of this series features newly annotated editions of Soviet-era documents chronicling the life of legendary partisan fighter Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, the first woman to receive the distinction of "Hero of the Soviet Union" during the Second World War. Contents include the full text of Lyubov Kosmodemyanskaya's 1942 short work "My Daughter Zoya" as well as excerpts from her larger 1953 work The Story of Zoya and Shura. Also included are post-war writings on the guerrilla resistance and supplemental texts by J.V. Stalin and V.I. Lenin.

This is the first of a series of volumes that will publish in book form the key works written by the British Marxist-Leninist W.B. (Bill) Bland (1916-2001). Bland has long been a controversial figure in the Marxist-Leninist movement. This printing of Volume 1 commences the first hard-copy major printing of Bland's works since his path-breaking book 'Restoration of Capitalism in the USSR' which was published by Bland himself. We chose the content of Volume 1 to reflect the pivotal role it played in the Marxist-Leninist movement - but also in Bland's own political development.
