Russia’s Relation to Universal History
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
A letter to a Russian friend, by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. “Like every history,” writes LaRouche, “Russia’s history could never be understood efficiently, except from the standpoint of a truthful account of universal history. In the light of universal history, the apparent complexities of the 1905-1996 history of Russia, and all of the important features of the earlier history of Russia, fall into place with a beautiful truthfulness, including the central fallacy of Bolshevism.”
