It will appeal to those who study Marxism, trade unions, and Soviet history.

Notă biografică

Barbara C. Allen, PhD (2001), Indiana University Bloomington, is Associate Professor of History at La Salle University, USA. She has published Alexander Shlyapnikov, 1885-1937: Life of an Old Bolshevik (Brill, 2015) and Leaflets of the Russian Revolution (Haymarket, 2018).

Recenzii

"Over eight hundred pages of translated archival documents and editorial comment – this is a work of truly Herculean scholarship. Allen shows in fascinating and at times terrifying detail how, even before Stalin became General Secretary of the Russian Communist Party, the worker activists of the pre-revolutionary and revolutionary years were seen as a threat to the Party’s apparatus and had to be marginalised. It is a magnificent and ground-breaking study." --Geoffrey Swain, Professor Emeritus, University of Glasgow

"Barbara C. Allen, author of the excellent biography of Alexander Shlyapnikov, a leader of the Workers’ Opposition, has with this book reinforced her status as our leading expert on that group. For this volume, Professor Allen has translated and edited almost one-hundred documents to include speeches, diary entries, minutes, and correspondence. Many of them are published here for the first time in English, still others for the first time in any language (among them items from the archive of Russia’s Federal Security Service). They demonstrate that the Workers’ Opposition as a movement and as an idea within the Bolshevik Party challenged dominant principles of Soviet governance. In an introduction and in essays that precede each of this collection’s four parts, Professor Allen skillfully analyzes the evolving positions of the Workers’ Opposition as a collective and of its prominent members as individuals. Specialists will find an expansive biographical glossary and index exceptionally useful. In these pages, a history of the Workers’ Opposition and of the Bolshevik Party emerges that is replete with creativity, courage, conviction, imprudence, deceit, and tragedy." --Larry E. Holmes, author of Revising the Revolution: The Unmaking of Russia's Official History of 1917.

"This comprehensive, meticulously edited collection fills one of many gaps in published records of the bubbling cauldron of political debate in early Soviet Russia. Large parts of the Workers' Oppositionists' arguments - about the role that workers and their union organisations should play in a workers' state, and much more - have remained mostly inaccessible for a century, and now Barbara Allen has put that right. The collection extensively documents not only the group's brief legal existence in 1920-21, but also its adherents' critique of industrial and other policies throughout the 1920s." -- Simon Pirani, author of The Russian Revolution in Retreat and Honorary Professor at the University of Durham.
