The now slightly receding figure of the 20th century Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin founder and leader of the Bolshevik Party and guiding light of the October 1917 Russian Revolution and the first attempt at creating a socialist society has been the subject to many biographies. Some of those efforts undertaken during the time of the former Soviet government dismantled in 1991-92, especially under the Stalin regime, bordered on or were merely the hagiographic. Others, reflecting the ups and downs of the post World War II Cold War, painted an obscene diabolical picture, excluding Lenin's horns, and in some cases not even attempting to exclude those. In virtually all cases these effort centered on Lenin's life from the period of the rise of the Bolshevik Social Democratic faction in 1903 until his early death in 1924. In short, the early formative period of his life in the backwaters of provincial Russia rate a gloss over. Fellow Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, although some ten years younger than Lenin, tries to trace that early stage of his life in order to draw certain lessons. It is in that context that Trotsky's work contains some important insights about the development of revolutionary figures and their struggles for political clarity.
