A talented engineer and member of the first Social Democratic circle in Russia, a secular lion and a skilled underground conspirator, a financial genius of the Bolshevik party and an organizer of arms supplies for the needs of the revolution - Leonid Krasin achieved brilliant success in all his roles. Accustomed to risk and willing to pay for mistakes, he never became a blind tool in someone's hands and did not act contrary to his own convictions. That is why in the Bolshevik leadership he always remained "a stranger among his own," but managed to become "his own among strangers" in the political establishment of the capitalist world.
