Lenin on Soviet foreign policy

V. I. Lenin on Soviet foreign policy

Will be updated
Lenin developed the theoretical foundations, principles and goals of the foreign policy of the USSR, practically led it. He repeatedly stressed that socialism and peace are inseparable.

In the works of V. I. Lenin, the need for peaceful coexistence of states with different social systems is scientifically substantiated, an idea that has received wide international recognition today, as well as the principles of the struggle against imperialism, for the rallying of all revolutionary and progressive forces. The most valuable Leninist instructions contained in many of his articles and speeches are still actively used in Soviet diplomatic practice. The collection includes a number of Lenin's documents published in recent years.
