A Russian edition of the sociolinguistic work Language and Revolution by the French socialist thinker Paul Lafargue (1842–1911), son-in-law of Karl Marx. Published in 1930 by the prestigious academic publisher "Academia," this volume features a scholarly introduction by V. Hoffenshefer and distinct artistic design by A. Leo. Lafargue’s essays analyze the profound transformation of the French language during and after the Great French Revolution, examining it as both a reflection and an instrument of class struggle and ideological change. This publication represents a significant early example of Marxist cultural and linguistic analysis made available to the Soviet readership.
