We are republishing Alan Wood's series on the Russian Revolution as a podcast, originally released to mark the centenary of the greatest event in human history.

Only two options remained: either the forces of reaction would crush the revolution, or the Bolsheviks would lead the masses to take power. ๐ Check out Socialist Appeal's website for theory, news, and analysis: socialist.net/ ๐ Get your ticket to this year's Revolution Festival โ the school of communism: revolutionfestival.co.uk/tickets โ Join the fight for revolution with the International Marxist Tendency: socialist.net/join ๐ฐ Subscribe to the Socialist Appeal newspaper: socialist.net/subscribe ๐ฉ Subscribe to the Revolution Scotland newspaper: revolution.scot/subscribe ๐ธ Support the fight for revolution by making a donation: socialist.net/donate ๐ Head to Wellred Books to purchase a copy of Bolshevism: The Road to Revolution, by Alan Woods: wellredbooks.co.uk/product/bolshevโฆon-2nd-edition/
