"Anarchists-syndicalists-communists": On the History of the Anarchist Movement of Russia in the Era of the Civil War

Abstract

The anarchist movement was one of the most influential and active political forces operating in Russia during the revolutionary events of 1917–1922. Despite the interest of researchers in the history of Russian anarchism, even the most famous anarchist organizations at that time, their formation, activities, did not become the object of historians’ research. The document published by the author, the charter of the Union of Anarcho-Syndicalist-Communists of Moscow (SASK), reveals the ideological position and view of the leaders of this organization on the tactics, strategy, structure of the anarchist organization. SASK was a project aimed at consolidating anarchists-communist and anarcho-syndicalists who sought to find the most promising strategies in the conditions of the Bolshevik dictatorship and civil war.
