Eleven volumes, unnumbered, in burgundy leatherette-wrapped hard cover with Stalin's portrait embossed top center and a facsimile of his signature under it, in gold. Small format measuring 4 ½" x 6 ¾".

The volumes contain Stalin's works on issues of nationalities (he was the first People's Commissar for Nationalities), different aspects of Marxist-Leninist theories, reports at the Congresses of VKP(b) from XIII to XVIII, which includes the infamous XVII Congress, aka "Congress of the Executed" because more than half of its delegates perished soon after in Stalin's purges. Chronologically, the last volume is a compilation of Stalin's speeches and decrees during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-45.

Each volume includes the original woven bookmark tape. Six volumes feature separate pages right after the title page, with Stalin's portraits, color prints of Stalin's paintings and photos glued to the page and protected by rice paper.

The set is in superb, near mint condition, showing bare minimum of storage wear to the cover and the edges of textblocks.

Please note that the pen in our photos is for size reference.
