As the centennial of Lenin's passing approaches, the journal presents Dr. Igor Pantin's article, "Vladimir Lenin: Political Philosophy," to its attentive readers. Dr. Pantin, the journal's founder and architect of the "POLIS" project, distills the essence of his extensive contemplation on V.I. Lenin's political thought, a thinker who embodied the fusion of political theory and praxis. Whether this holistic approach to politics remains relevant today, we leave for our readers to ponder.

Dr. Pantin builds upon, expands, and seamlessly integrates narratives previously established in three of his own publications, forging a unified and illuminating exploration of Lenin's political philosophy: Pantin, I.K. (2009). Marxism: historical self-knowledge. Voprosy Filosofii, 7, 12-25. (In Russ.); Pantin, I.K. (2011). The Russian Revolution as a problem of political philosophy. Polis. Political Studies, 5, 48-69. (In Russ.); Pantin, I.K. (2014). V.I. Lenin as a political philosopher. Alternatives, 4, 4-21. (In Russ.)
