A Letter to American Workingmen

by Vladimir Lenin

Overview

The American Communists appealed to Lenin to write a pamphlet that they could publish to give the Communist side of the events in Russia. This "letter" - in reality published as a booklet - is Lenin's response. In it he explains why the Russian Revolution was turning out to be so violent, why Russia had made peace with Germany and urges the American workingmen to join the revolution. He seeks to draw analogies between Russi and the USA.
