BIBLIOGRAPHY
Everything concerning Lenin is in the collections of his
works of which there exist (in Russian) five editions, each
more complete than the last, though not quite complete
yet; they are augmented by copious annotations presenting
a great many variants and contradictions. Cf. Lenin, Works,
first edition in 20 vols. (Moscow, 1924-27); third edition
in 30 vols. (Moscow, 1927-35); Complete Works, fifth edition
in 55 vols. (Moscow, 1958-65). The second and third editions
are similar; the fourth is to be avoided.
Stalin's texts up to January 1934 are found in the collec-
tion called Works in 13 vols. (Moscow, 1946-51), the publi-
cation of which was held up after the death of the author.
A supplement of three volumes covering the years 1934-53,
edited by Robert H. McNeal, was published by the Hoover
Institution (Stanford, 1967).
