The Russian Workers' Opposition in 1919-21 advocated trade union
management of the Soviet economy and worker dominance of the
Russian Communist Party's leading bodies. The Workers' Opposition
in the Russian Communist Party: Documents, 1919-30 comprises the
most complete set of articles, speeches, theses, memoranda,
protocols, resolutions, letters, diary entries, and other documents
pertaining to the activity of the Workers' Opposition group during
its existence. It also includes materials from the Opposition's
individual former members after the group itself dissolved and
until its key members ceased their participation in dissenting
political activities by 1930. Most of the documents in this
collection have never before been published in English and many
have not been published in Russian. The material contained herein
represents a major contribution to the documentary material of
Soviet history.
This volume recounts the political formation and positions of
Russian trade unionist and 'old Bolshevik' Alexander Shlyapnikov.
Famous for his role in the Workers' Opposition, and his calls for
trade unions to realize workers' mastery over the economy, this
biography - the first in any language - offers a little seen 'on
the shop floor' view of life within the Russian revolutionary
movement.
When workers and peasants rose up across Russia and smashed the
centuries old Tsarist autocracy their actions reverberated across
the world, and continue to inspire activists to this day. This
carefully assembled and expertly translated collection of documents
from the Petrograd socialist movement in 1917 provides contemporary
readers with a firsthand glimpse into the revolutionary ferment as
it unfolds. In Leaflets of the Russian Revolution, Barbara Allen
selects and introduces the pamphlets and other agitational material
that give life to the debates, disagreements and perspectives that
animated the masses during the revolution.
