I read the translated version of this as a kid and I feel blessed that I got to read this. Reading this will introduce you to the situations during those times and this book not only offers the hussles in formation of Soviet union, it is written in such a way that you actually grow up with Lenin. There are plenty of scenarios which are must for everyone to acknowledge for a better life style.
Best part is that this book is capable of catering to wide range of readers as it makes you feel home if you are one born before 2ks. Overall I suggest everyone to give it your kids to expose them to some real life issues around the world once nd how it can replicate now a days situations.
