"Nationalism in Lenin" (Russian: Ленин как национальный тип, Lenin as a national type) was an article, written by Leon Trotsky in 1920 for the 50th birthday of Vladimir Lenin, and published in the soviet newspaper "Pravda".[1] It contains the author's reflections on the personality and character of the founder of the Bolshevik Party. In 1924, due to the death of Lenin, the text was issued as a separate pamphlet, and also reprinted in Trotsky's book "Lenin" (Russian: О Ленине, About Lenin).
