Inessa ArmandThursday 11 October 2001
Revolutionary, mother of five and Lenin's lover, Inessa Armand became one of the most powerful women in Russia in 1919.

But until now, her story has been suppressed by party censorship.
Michael Pearson has had access to newly released papers, and discusses this little-known but extraordinary woman.
Inessa: Lenin's Mistress by Michael Pearson (Gerald Duckworth & Co. Ltd, ISBN: 0715630482, £20.00).
