内容説明

This is a biography of L.B. Krasin, a leader of the Bolshevik wing of the Russian Social Democratic Workers Party, commissar of foreign trade in the Soviet government in the 1920s, and one of the foremost Soviet diplomats of his era. The book reviews Krasin's contributions in these roles, including his technical organization of V.I. Lenin's "expropriations" - robberies of Tsarist banks and post offices by secret Bolshevik "fighting squads". Based on extensive research in Soviet and Western archives and on Krasin's personal, unpublished letters, the book considers Krasin's ideology of a technological utopia in Soviet Russia.
