Meetings in Scotland: "The Lenin I Knew" (1977)

Party News from the November 1977 issue of the Socialist Standard

Blogger's Note:

With regards to him doing a series of meetings on "The Lenin I Knew", Harry Young ('Horatio' in the Socialist Standard) was a founder member of the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1920, serving on its Executive Committee in his capacity as the national organiser of the Young Communist League. Later in the 1920s he spent several years in the Soviet Union working for the Young Communist International. Harry Young provides some background on time in his life in an article from the February 1976 issue of the Socialist Standard.

Andrew Whitehead's excellent website has more details on Harry Young's political life and journey. It's well worth checking out.
