The Interpretation of Lenin’s Thought by Slavoj Zizek

Abstract: The article reveals the nature of the interpretation of Lenin’s thought by Slavoj Zizek and the social and philosophical significance of the interpretation. It is demonstrated that the interpretation is based on the opposition of Lenin and Leninism. This opposition is carried out with the problematization of the relationship between economy and politics and the interpretation of being based on Zizek’s analysis of criticism of Marxism by postmodern left thinkers. It is demonstrated that Zizek’s interpretation of Leninism is a new stage in the polemic of Western Marxism against Soviet Marxism. The methodological foundations of this new challenge are revealed.

Keywords: Savin, Zizek, Lenin, Leninism, Soviet Marxism, Western Marxism, philosophy, politics.
