This collection contains correspondence between Lenin and Gorky and other material revealing their long-standing friendship. "Gorky by his great works of art has bound himself... closely to the workers' movement in Russia and throughout the world." - Lenin "There are men whose significance no human word can do justice to..." "Such a man, not only for Russia (alone), but for the whole world, for the whole of our planet, is Vladimir Ilyich. I think that no matter how many fine words we speak about him, we can never describe, never define the significance of his work, his energy, his penetrating mind, has for all mankind - and not only for us." - Gorky
