1929. Edited by Alexander Trachtenberg. The only edition authorized by the V.I. Lenin Institute, Moscow. International Publishers was the publishing house of the Communist Party, U.S.A. and reprinted the Soviet editions of these works. According to an editor's note, this will be the only authorized translation of Lenin's writings from 1893 to 1924. Volume IV covers the Iskra Period from 1900-1902. In 1900 Lenin went abroad with George Plekhanov and others to organize the clandestine newspaper Iskra (The Spark), which was designed to ignite the revolutionary movement. In Iskra Lenin rejected the notion of any kind of political alliance with liberals or other elements of the bourgeoisie and stressed the importance of social, rather than political, democracy, as the basis for individual freedom.
