and 112. Lenin edited the paper from the beginning until Oct. 1903, when
Plekhanov took over the helm, running the paper until its final issue. Important
Bolshevik paper. "The chief weapon in this battle [to unite the Socialists
against the Liberals and to win workers to the struggle to overthrow Tsarism]
was a newspaper which served not merely as a collective propagandist and
collective agitator, but also as a collective organizer. Iskra (The Spark)
formulated the party programme in an orthodox vein and served as the focus and
organizational centre for calling the Second Party Congress....Local response to
the first issue of the newspaper, in December 1900, was enthusiastic." In
dealing with the major split with the Bund, "Lenin developed the ideas that
became the organizing principles first of Iskra [the organization] , then of the
Bolsheviks and later the Communist Party. In What is to be Done? (1902), he
advocated a centralized organization, run by a small, disciplined groups of
highly professional revolutionaries. Between 1901 and 1903, thanks to its
regular appearance and reliable delivery to the localities, by its readability
and forceful message, and the technical assistance its agents furnished to local
groups in the form of passports and literature, Iskra, both the newspaper and
the organization, forged an increasing following in Russia....By means of Iskra
(The Spark), newspaper and network of agents, Lenin had enough support by summer
1903 to convene the Second Party Congress which, he believed, would expel his
critics and create a disciplined party of like-minded professional
revolutionaries" (Shukman, ed. Blackwell Encyclopedia Of The Russian
Revolution, 1988, pp. 65-66, 339). 1 listing on OCLC mentions
"reprint" with no date—this may refer to very early reprints which
were done for the use of party members. It is likely that that is what many of
these are, as they come from an early 20th Century socialist
organization. SUBJECT(S): Socialism -- Russia --Periodicals. Geographic: Russia
