"In this work Marx made the first attempt to apply the materialist method to explain modern history. In the Communist Manifesto, this theory was applied in general outlines to the whole of recent history; Marx and I have constantly used it in explaining current events in our articles in the New Ruthenian Gazette. The present work, on the other hand, is devoted to the study of a long-standing period of critical and typical importance for the whole of Europe, in its internal causal relationship; and from the author's position, this meant reducing political facts in the last instance to economic causes."
