This edition is a collection of texts by V.I. Lenin, written over a long period of time from the early days of the Soviet regime until his death. The texts include speeches at conferences of the Bolshevik Party and the Soviets, brochures, and articles on issues of socialist construction. They reflect the revolutionary line of Lenin and the Bolshevik Party.

The chronological presentation of the texts helps the reader to follow the course of socialist construction during this period, the development of V.I. Lenin's ideas, and the policies of the Bolshevik Party.

The collection represents only a small part of V.I. Lenin's work during that period; the reader can find the whole in the edition of "Lenin's Collected Works" by Syghroni Epochi.
