Lenin and all the leaders of the October revolution after him were very fond of laying particular emphasis on the dual role of [Turkistan] in the soviet political system. [Turkistan] was in the first place to serve as 'an experimental field' for the practical application of soviet policy for different nationalities; and it was in the second place to become an imitable example for the solution of the more general and more important problem of the dictatorship of the proletariat namely, 'the revolution for colonial liberation.'48—cover page.
