The anarchist movement played an important role in the events of the great Russian revolution of 1917–1922, both as an ally and as an opponent of the Bolshevik dictatorship. The interaction of anarchist organizations of this period with the governing structures of the RCP(b) is still a topic that has not been fully disclosed. Documents found in the Russian state archive of socio-political history and the State archive of the Russian Federation are dedicated to the events of December 1919 — April 1920, related to the attempt to form the all-Russian Union of anarchists. This project brought together representatives of the most influential anarchist organizations operating on the territory of the RSFSR. The published documents allow the reader to learn about the negotiations of anarchists with the leadership of the RCP (b) on the legalization of their activities, Amnesty and cessation of repression, as well as about the attempt to create an organization in Moscow to protect American political prisoners. 

The article is devoted to the managerial ideas of G.P. Maksimov, one of the most famous theorists of Russian anarchism in the late 1910s - 1930s. The author examines the concept of a "transition period" to an imperious society, developed by Maximov in the late 1920s in his work "Constructive Anarchism". For this model of socio-political structure, it was assumed that the elements of power would be preserved in a decentralized form, transferred to the elected bodies of industrial and territorial self-government of workers. The author analyzes the origins of Maximov's concept and its role in the development of the anarchist current of world social thought.
