Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.

Capitalism has triumphed all over the world, but this triumph is only the prelude to the triumph of labour over capital.

The war is relentless: it puts the alternative in a ruthless relief: either to perish, or to catch up with the advanced countries and outdistance them, too, in economic matters.

Behind the October Revolution there are more influential personalities than the thinkers and executors of Marxism.

A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation; furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution.

I don't care what becomes of Russia. To hell with it. All this is only the road to a World Revolution.

It is more pleasant and useful to go through the 'experience of the revolution' than to write about it.
