    Lenin was a prolific writer who produced thousands of pages across his career, including books, articles, pamphlets, letters, speeches, and parliamentary speeches. The most comprehensive collection is the Collected Works, which exists in multiple editions.

    Here are his major published works that are well-documented:

    What Is to Be Done? Burning Questions of Our Movement (1902) - This outlined his vision for a vanguard party of professional revolutionaries.

    The Development of Capitalism in Russia (1899) - His doctoral dissertation analyzing economic transformation in Russia.

    One Step Forward, Two Steps Back (1904) - On the split in the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party.

    Materialism and Empirio-criticism (1908) - A philosophical work defending dialectical materialism against Machist philosophy.

    Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism (1916) - Analysis of capitalism's global expansion and its connection to war.

    The State and Revolution (1917) - His theoretical work on the nature of the state and proletarian revolution.

    The April Theses (1917) - Ten points outlining his position on the Russian Revolution.

    Two Tactics of Social-Democracy in the Democratic Revolution (1905) - On revolutionary strategy.

    Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder (1920) - Critique of ultra-left tendencies in communist movements.

    The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky (1918) - Polemic against Karl Kautsky.

    On the Question of Dialectics (1915) - Philosophical notes.

    In addition to these books, Lenin wrote hundreds of articles for newspapers like Pravda and Iskra, numerous letters to party members and international socialists, parliamentary speeches from the Duma, and official documents as Soviet leader. The Russian 5th edition of his Collected Works contains 55 volumes. English translations vary by publisher and edition.

    For a truly complete bibliography, you would need to consult specialized academic sources or the official Lenin archives. The Marxists Internet Archive maintains a substantial collection of his writings online, though even that may not be exhaustive.

    I should be clear that I cannot verify every single text he authored without access to comprehensive archival databases. My information comes from standard historical and academic sources about Lenin's published works.

    Cheers!
