      “The first edition of Fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism was highly acclaimed by the Soviet and international communist press. Many great propagandists and teachers of Marxism acknowledged its value as a useful educational aid, easy to understand while being at the same time a competent scientific exposition of the fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism as an integral science. The book was translated into many languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, etc.).

      The present, second edition, while preserving the structure and main content of the first edition, has been enriched by the valuable new ideas of the most outstanding work of modern Marxist-Leninist thought — the Programme of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union — and by the basic propositions of the other documents of the Twenty- Second Congress of the C.P.S.U. (…)

      The main work of preparing the second edition has been carried out by O. V. Kuusinen (leader of the group of authors), Y. A. Arbatov, A. S. Belyakov, S. L. Vygodsky, A. G. Mileikovsky and L. M. Sheidin. Work on the revision of individual chapters has also been carried out by F. M. Burlatsky, N. I. Ivanov, B. M. Leibzon, A. A. Makarovsky, and Y. P. Sitkovsky.”

        I almost read “S. L. Vygodsky” as “Vygotsky” (the famous Soviet psychologist)!

          I think it’s actually him, and he was a pedagogue as well. L. S. Vygotsky
