520			_aWhat is a class? Do peasants constitute a single class? What is the peasant question from the Marxists' revolutionary perspective? These issues are raised in this paper, based on the writings of Marx, Engels and Lenin, above all.

There is also a brief discussion on the post-Soviet situation. - Reproduced.
