SHRINWANTU COMREDES

  SHRINWANTU COMREDES

The play transport us back to only one day in the life of the Great Leader of Soviet Russia. Aware that he is mortally ill with two bullets by the reactionaries still in his body, Lenin is concerned only with the amount of time he has left to give a firm foundation and a clear direction to a revolution that is opening a hitherto unknown, un-trodden path. People of Soviet Union shock the world and changed the course of human history; ordinary people they were, of whom history demanded extra-ordinary deeds, courage and self-sacrifice. The thoughts and the man are one. And both were molded by the trials of the most trying times — times, which witnessed the most far-reaching triumph of the human spirit. Revolutionary Russia, the young Soviet Republic, was literally fighting for its very life grappling with hunger, industrial and agricultural paralysis as well as capitalist encirclement. And so was the leader of the great Revolution. Only as he well known and his fellow workers and his doctor could not conceal, his battle for life was a loosing one. Still he keeps on fighting fiercely against the deadening disease of dogma and infantile leftist extremism. He is firm in combating “Communist Highhandedness”, bureaucracy and soullessness. His vision is not blurred with any preoccupied ideas devoid of Marxism and thus he finally decides to address the meeting of Young Communist League who will be the future torch bearers of the millions of toil up masses of Soviet Russia and the world over.
