Overview

These translations by Barbara C. Allen of Alexander Shlyapnikov’s memoirs of his childhood and youth and of his history of the 1905 Revolution in Russia illuminate how a working-class provincial youth from a religious dissenter family became a Marxist revolutionary. The book comprises a brief published autobiography, an unpublished memoir of Shlyapnikov’s childhood, a short fictional piece based on his early experience of factory work, a published historical survey of the 1905 Revolution in Russia, and three article-length published memoir-histories about his early activities in the revolutionary underground and his leadership of a revolutionary organisation in the town of Murom.
