The Marxist Movement
n By the 1890s new protest
currents appeared.
Marxist socialism spread among
the intelligentsia.
Vladimir Lenin attempted to
make Marxism fit Russian
conditions and organized
disciplined cells to work for the
expected revolution.
At the same time working-class
unrest in the cities showed
through union formation and
strikes – both of which were
illegal – to compensate for lack
of political outlets.
