New economic processes in rural life
New economic processes in peasant life ( Russian: Новые хозяйственные движения в крестьянской жизни ) is the earliest writing by Lenin that has survived to this day. The article was written for the legal press in Samara in the spring of 1893 . Although Lenin wanted to publish the article in the Russkaya Mysl magazine, the editorial team rejected the article because it did not match the direction of the magazine.
Manuscripts
The Institute for Marxism-Leninism at the Central Committee of the CPSU had two manuscripts of the article. The original came from Lenin's personal archives; the second manuscript was the final version of the article, which Lenin had edited and found in the archives of the Moscow Chamber of Justice.
meaning
The earlier writing of the young Lenin was based on the book by VJ Postnikov "The South Russian Peasant Economy" and the semstvostatistics used by Postnikov. The Institute for Marxism-Leninism had a copy of this book with comments from Lenin. Most of the materials and statistics on which this article is based were used by Lenin in the second chapter of his first major work, " The Development of Capitalism in Russia ".
