Kniha - autor Catherine Merridaleová, 184 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Kniha Lenin ve vlaku sleduje průběh Leninovy cesty z curyšského exilu přes válkou rozvrácené Německo na sever k hranicím Laponska až po závěrečné nadšené uvítání revolučními davy na Finském nádraží v Petrohradu. Autorka v ní propojuje příběh zaplombovaného vlaku i jeho svérázných cestujících s liberální únorovou revolucí v Rusku. Detailně zobrazuje vzájemné průniky obou událostí. Při putování ve stopách Lenina vracejícího se po mnoha letech do vlasti využívá nepřebernou škálu soudobých očitých svědectví. Pro mnohé byl Lenin jen „užitečný hlupák“, jiní očekávali, že bude bez meškání uvězněn nebo zlikvidován, a zbytek byl přesvědčen, že má v praxi pramálo stoupenců a ještě menší vliv. Jak dnes víme, všichni se v tom fatálně mýlili. Nebýt geniálního nápadu několika německých úředníků umožnit nejproslulejšímu revolučnímu radikálovi Vladimiru Iljiči Leninovi, ukrývajícímu se v...
