Tsar to Lenin is a documentary and cinematic record of the
Russian Revolution, produced by Herman Axelbank.[1] It
premiered on March 6, 1937, at the Filmarte Theatre on Fifty-Eighth
Street in New York City. Pioneer American radical Max Eastman
(1883-1969) narrates the film.[2] Because of its pro-Trotskyist position, the film was suppressed by the Stalinists of the American Communist Party[3] and was only widely available in a shortened format in the Library of Congress[4] until its re-release in 2012 by the Socialist Equality Party (US),[5] who state that its predecessor, the Workers League, purchased the film from Axelbank in 1978 and organized showings of the film in the intervening period.[6]
