This issue of Eszmélet addresses on three main topics. First, the analysis of revolution started in the previous issue continues but now focuses on the 20^th century. In addition to the revolution in Russia the articles mostly examine the events in Latin America, recalling the memory of Che Guevara many times. Second, the role and fate of the working class in Hungary and other parts of the world in the 20^th century history and present day reality. Third, several articles examine the popular myths of neoliberal economic policy, the East European variations of these myths and also presenting possible alternatives to them.
