Above: After Marx's death, Lenin in-
terpreted his ideology, trying to fill
the lacunae and reconcile the contra-
dictions Marx had left. In so doing,
Lenin produced the formula for bring-
ing Communism to power by force of
arms. The photograph above, taken in
1897 in St. Petersburg, shows Lenin
(middle) with other Communist mili-
tants. Below: A Russian edition of
Marx's Das Kapital.
