Life histories of prominent survivors of the Menshevik party, who played important roles in the politics of Russian social democracy, reveal the social and cultural milieus in which their ideas and attitudes were shaped.
The contributions to this 1989 volume are concerned with the
patterns of continuity and change in industrial labour conflicts in
major industrialized countries before, during, and in the immediate
aftermath of the First World War. The articles have been conceived
as part of a series of efforts to assist the further development of
comparative labour history, and in particular the application of
quantitative techniques to the analysis of industrial labour
conflicts in comparative perspective. The intensive examination of
strike waves in the volume offers a nuanced critique of economic
models of strike activities. Political and organizational
explanations come in for trenchant analysis as well.

This book presents the life histories, drawn from a series of
interviews conducted in the 1960s, of three prominent survivors of
the Menshevik party: Lydia Dan, Boris Nicolaevsky, and George
Denike. Each of these figures played an important role in the
politics of Russia's Social Democracy and eventually in the
Menshevik party. The interviews range well beyond politics. They
reconstruct, in quasi-anthropological fashion, the childhood and
youth of the three figures in the social and culture milieus in
which their ideas and attitudes were shaped and in which they
played their political roles. Taken together, their recollections
form a tableau of a political culture that played a prominent role
up to the Revolution, and that was dramatically extinguished in its
aftermath.
