DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nContemporary Russia and the 
 Struggle to Build Communism\n\n   Russia in the 20th century was the site 
 of enormous upheavals   the Bolshevik Revolution, the massive 
 industrialization, the Great Patriotic War, the Cold War, the breakup of 
 the Soviet Union, and the Yeltsin era.  The Putin presidency (2000-present) 
 poses particularly difficult political and theoretical problems for 
 imperialists and Marxists alike.  to review imperialism’s (U.S.) 
 incessant lying attacks on ex-USSR/Putin, see this source;

   For 30 years Sharon Tennison, with high marks for her work in particular 
 by some Left-ists, talked to Soviets/Russians and U.S. Americans to try to 
 bring them together, to prevent mutual atomic bombing. Her work took a 
 surprising turn, one that needs examination by us. Her report is The Power 
 of Impossible Ideas: Ordinary Citizens' Extraordinary Efforts to Avert 
 International Crises.\n   Two ICSS members will examine these factors from 
 a Marxist perspective. Presentations by ICSS members Richard Fallenbaum, a 
 retired tech worker, and Norma Harrison, a woman, mother, public school 
 teacher, wife, electronics journey-one, Realtor.\n\nSun, June 10, 2018 –
