Plekhanov's representative works include Socialism and Political Struggle (1883), Our Differences of Opinions (1885), On the Development of the View of Monistic History (1885), On the Role of Individuals in History and On the Series of Historical Materialism (650). All these show that he is a mature Marxist theorist.

In addition, plekhanov once published an article "Don't do that" in New Mars, an article "Go separately and fight together" in 1905, an article "The Materialism of Fighting" in 1908, and an anthology "On War" in the First World War.

2. Profile of people

Chairman of the General Committee of Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, a populist in his early years, was one of the founders and leaders of Russian Marxist political parties in the 20 years after 1883, was the first thinker to spread Marxism in Russia and Europe, and was a famous activist of Russian and international workers' movements, which was highly respected by Lenin. However, after the second congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party in 1903, it gradually parted ways with the Bolsheviks, turned to Menshevism, supported nationalism in World War I, and then opposed the October Revolution.

3. Personality assessment

He is more like a scholar than a revolutionary. He spent most of his life in exile, returned to Russia after the victory of the February Revolution, and left for only a few months after the October Revolution. Therefore, he devoted most of his time to reading and studying theories and publishing articles, rather than directly participating in the revolutionary activities themselves. In that rapidly changing society, he tried to find a suitable position: he advocated progress and opposed impatience; He is eager for social progress, but he is sincerely wary of violence and extreme behavior.

But plekhanov is not opposed to the socialist revolution. As a disciple of Marx and a pioneer in the spread of Marxism in Russia, plekhanov always believed that socialism would come and capitalism would fail.
