Russia and Karl Marx



I received a cover with the Karl Marx of Russia too ! 

I guess I have written enough and more about Karl Marx and Marxism in two previous posts - when I received covers with Marx stamps from Germany and Kyrgyzstan. 

Karl Marx, a German philosopher, is known for his revolutionary political ideas during the Russian Revolution. He established the idea of “materialist conception of history”, meaning how society and the economy is organized is determined by changes material conditions. He published this thesis in his manuscript called The German Ideology. While writing The German Ideology, Marx also joined the Communist League, an international proletarian organization, and wrote a polemic against P.J. Proudhon’s idealistic socialism.
Vladimir Lenin was a theorist and communist philosopher during the Russian Revolution and a serious follower of many of the Marxist ideals. He is remembered as one of the greatest revolutionaries in history for many reasons, first being, founding and leading the Bolshevik Party. This contribution led to the creation of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, which marked the beginnings of the Soviet Union.
