—
This edition of the English translation of Josef Stalin's Collected Works has been reproduced faithfully—edited only for accessibility and clarity, with reformatted footnotes and a beautiful typography—from the text of the English-based on the Russian edition, originally prepared by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute of the Central Committee, C.P.S.U. (B).
​Iskra Books has chosen to publish the full series of the Collected Works due to an academic scarcity of the original materials, an increasing inaccessibility of used copies of the original Foreign Languages Publishing House editions of the 1950s, and a growing scholarly and practical interest in the writings and ideas of one of the Twentieth Century's most impactful, if controversial, socialist heads of state.
Stalin's Works are both pedagogically accessible and theoretically important, and deserve to be studied not only as world-historical and practical applications of the development of Marxist-Leninist political theory, but, especially in an era where the rise of hegemonic imperialism and the decay of capitalism lead to an increasing global fascism, also as political-theoretical texts in their own right; as the core theoretical works underpinning extant socialist state governance, policy, legislation, and practice.
