The Russian Revolution: 100 years and still shaking the world

Featured speakers, three life-long socialist activists:

• Brian Becker, PSL Central Committee, Washington, DC
• Gloria La Riva, 2016 PSL Presidential Candidate, San Francisco
• Dr. Anthony Monteiro, Saturday Free School, Philadelphia

The Russian Revolution ‘shook the world’ in 1917. It was the first time a socialist revolution had taken and held power, putting the workers in power, seizing private property and society’s productive capacity.

That revolution became the nemesis of the global imperialism, while it inspired national liberation movements around the world. As it emerged to be the second-largest economy, it became a valid counterweight to claims of capitalism’s superiority.

No single event shaped the 20th century more than the Russian Revolution and no single event has shaped the 21st century more than its destruction in 1991. For those who dream and fight for a new world today, it is essential that the lessons of the Russian Revolution and Soviet experiment be studied and understood.

The event will also be the book launch for Storming the Gates: How the Russian Revolution Changed the World.
