[Edited by] Struve, Petr

Poliarnaia Zviezda, Nos. 1-14 (Polar Star)

S. l. (St. Petersburg), M. V. Pirozhkova, 1905. First Edition. First edition, 1905 - 1906, nos. 1 to 14 (all published); 7 3/4 x 5 1/2; greenish-beige wraps, printed in black; most issues partially unopened; condition varies from good, foxing to wraps and a few small chips to edges, to very good or better, with light wear to edges and tips of spine; vol. 1, 7, 10 with manuscript numbers to front wrap and title page and/or stamps; vol. 4 and 14 rebound in boards and 1/4 leatherette, with the original wraps preserved; vol. 14 with three leaves towards the end with their margins clipped (only one affecting a small paragraph). A rare, complete run of the influential, albeit short-lived journal, it was published weekly and survived for just four months, before the Russian censorship shut it down. The editor, Petr Struve (1870 - 1944), was one of the brightest Russian philosophers and political economists of his time, starting out as a Marxist (his first book on Russia's economic development would be the first legally-published Marxist work in the country), he later turned liberal and, yet later, he would join the White Movement after the Revolution. He was also the co-founder of the Constitutional Democratic Party and represented it at the Second State Duma. After 1918, he fled Russia and lived in exile, first in Finland and Bulgaria and then in Paris. Contributors to the journal were some of the most prominent representatives of Russian "liberal conservatism," including Vladimir Dmitrievich Nabokov (1870 - 1922) - father of author Vladimir Nabokov, journalist, progressive statesman, and criminalist; Semen Frank (1877 - 1950) - considered one of the most important names of Russian 20th-century thought; Dmitrii Merezhkovskii (1866 - 1941) - religious thinker, literary critic, and one of the seminal figures of the Silver Age of Russian Poetry; Mikhail Tugan-Baranovskii (1865 - 1919) - author, politician, economist, and co-founder of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine; Nikolai Berdiaev (1874 - 1948) - one of the most important Russian Orthodox thinkers of the last century; etc. Very good .

Lenin, V. I.

Materializm I Empiriokrititsizm (Materialism and Empirio-Criticism)

Moskva (Moscow), Partizdat, 1933. Uniform edition (first published in 1909); 8 x 5 1/4; pp. [11], 12-348; light-brown cloth, printed and decorated in black; illustrated with portrait frontis and facsimiles of the title pages of the first and the second edition; fading and a few minor spots to cloth; light wear to edges; in very good condition. A cornerstone of the Marxist-Leninist Philosophy, Lenin fwrote his work between February and October of 1908 in Geneva and London. It would be a response to the three-volume "Empiriomonism" by his political rival within the Party - Alexander Bogdanov - and would ultimately enable the philosophical idea of Marxism to spread among the Party's members. Very good .
