“…For instance, the Komsomol, as I have shown in detail elsewhere, gave young activists an autonomous space for civic engagement, an environment where they could express and often enact their idiosyncratic understandings of the Bolshevik revolutionary project. 23 Komsomol members engaged in a wide variety of internationalist practices, many of which came particularly to the fore during the 'German fever' of October-November 1923. This largely forgotten episode, as Gleb Albert has demonstrated, was a remarkable event in the development of revolutionary internationalism in Soviet Union.…”

On the 1 st of March 1927, two Komsomol members from the Chuvash Republic, located in the centre of European Russia, wrote an emotional letter to Comrade Stalin. Reflecting on the revolutionary upheavals in China, they attacked the inaction of the Komsomol and the party and expressed their sincere determination to self-mobilise and join the proletarian forces in China. 'We do not need empty slogans such as "The Komsomol is prepared"', 'We must not live like this' they wrote and boasted 'we guarantee that we are able to mobilise thousands of Komsomol members who have the desire to go to China and fight in the army of the Guomindang.' This was after all, they forcefully stressed, the purpose for which 'our party and our Komsomol exist.' 1 These youngsters were not alone in their views. As the coverage on the

The collective monograph makes a new attempt to rethink the Russian revolution as a ‘historical divide’ between eras in Russian and world history. The authors come to the conclusion that the revolutionary transformation of Russia went far beyond the borders of 1917, capturing not only the Russian Civil War, but also the first decade of Soviet power. The most important and valuable observations relate to the hidden and still underestimated socio-cultural influence of prerevolutionary Russia on the seemingly completely special ‘Soviet world’.
