Notes
Bibliography
In the first section of my work, I shall discuss Plekhanov's transition to Marxism as a background*to the formulation of his ideology in the years 1800-82; the formation of the Gruppa Osvovozhdenie Truda and a survey of its development; the development of Plekhanov’s ideology in these years; the attempts to disseminate Marxist teachings among the Russian revolutionaries, and the success of the Gruppa in this direction;the broadening of the Gruppa into the Union (1883-94).
The second section covers the ideological struggle against Revisionism(1898) and against Economism, his personal struggle against the Union that ended with the creation of Iskra-Zaria in December 1900, and culminated in the preparations for the Second Congress of the R.S.D.L.P.(1893-1903).
The third section will discuss Plekhanov’s transition from collaboration with Lenin against Economism, to their parting immediately after the Congress of July 1903; from then Plekhanov began his struggle against Lenin’s "left"; his "bourgeois" attitude to the 1905 Revolution as part of his struggle against the left; his role and anti-Bolshevik attitude in the Fourth Congress (the United, April 1906) , and the Fifth,(London, April 1907); from this to a new struggle against the "right"(liquidationism, 1909-12), and during all these years increasing efforts at re-unification of the party (1903-14)
In the fourth section I shall survey Plekhanov's attitude to the First World War, and the revolution of February 1917, prior to the Bolshevik Revolution, and afterwards (1914-17).
