British Socialists 1900 to 1920

I have recently been watching the 1974 series "Fall of Eagles". Lenin was in London and being opposed by a stout and aggressive lady. Does any one know who she was. Can anyone recommend a good book detailing what went on then. Can anyone name any other significant characters from that era, especially Welsh ones and discuss them.

Is this to what you are referring:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jZ86CbBRYQIt looks quite good (with Captain Picard playing Lenin). Lenin addressed the woman you are asking about as "Comrade Zasulitch". She is Vera Zasulitch. More details about her here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Zasulich

Thanks for both replies. It is an excellent series and filled me in on history the epoch. It also shows the sanity of Republicanism, Democracy, Socialism and for me Pacifism. I would have to say the most rational response to the whole result ( WW1) was Bertrand Russell. Wow I have just read about Vera Zasulich and all I can say is " They dont make em like they used to ".
