The Russian Revolution () is a pamphlet written in 1918 by Polish-German Marxist theorist Rosa Luxemburg. It was posthumously published in 1922 by fellow Spartacist Paul Levi.
Summary
Luxemburg discusses the 1917 February and October revolutions in Russia. Her three major criticisms of the policies implemented by the Bolshevik Party were its korenizatsiya policy of self-determination for ethnic minorities, its distribution of land to individual peasant farmers instead of immediate collectivization, and its anti-democratic dissolution of the Russian Constituent Assembly. In general, Luxemburg was critical of Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin's centralization of power and creation of a single party state, and the suppression of civil liberties such as freedom of the press, association and assembly.
