Contradicts. The Marxists.org edition states the book was written in August-September 1917 but was first published in 1918, contradicting publication in 1917.[1]
Contradicts. Wikipedia gives the publication date of The State and Revolution as 1918, and the Marxist.net preface says the first publication was 1918 and the book was not printed until 1918.[2][3]
Supports. Multiple sources confirm Vladimir Lenin wrote The State and Revolution, a 1917 work setting out his theory of the state and revolution.[2][4][5]
Context. Lenin wrote the book in hiding in August-September 1917 and intended to publish it under a pseudonym, but it did not appear in print until 1918, after which a second edition came out in 1919.[1][3]
