Bukharins Response to the Lessons of October as a Reflection of Views in the Internal Party Discussion (1920s)

The article discusses the work of N. I. Bukharin “How not to write the history of October”. The work is a response to L. D. Trotsky’s famous work “Lessons of October” and contains Bukharin’s retrospective view of one of the most important episodes in the history of the party — the October armed uprising. The text of the work, it seems, helps to understand Bukharin’s positions in the intra-party discussion with Trotsky and the left opposition led by him and complements other works of Bukharin (in the 1920s, the leading ideologist of the party), created by him in polemics with the left and devoted directly to party building. The article aims to analyze this Bukharin text and analyze Bukharin’s perception of October Eve as the most important episode in the life of the party.
