mila kunis posted:Any recommended soviet books on the russian civil war? Besides that A Short History of Soviet Society, History of the USSR in Three Parts, Part II, and History of the USSR: The Era of Socialism each contain chapters on the Civil War from the Soviet POV. Also, while not a Soviet work, Armed Intervention in Russia: 1918-1922 was written by two British Communists. In unrelated news, I've scanned a 1962 Soviet book titled Communist Morality, which contains excerpts of works by Marx, Engels, Lenin, Dzerzhinsky, Krupskaya, Kirov, Kalinin, and Khrushchev. Edit: Someone donated money, and thus I can report that 114-page work on the Russian Civil War is en route... from New Zealand, so it'll take a while.

I've now scanned The Civil War in Russia: Its Causes and Significance for user mila kunis. Thanks to the users who donated to make that possible. I also scanned a Soviet book from 1977 titled Fundamentals of Scientific Communism which is meant as a text for beginners wanting to know 'bout Marxism-Leninism. There's a similar, shorter text from 1988 I also scanned with the title of Fundamentals of Scientific Socialism. I've also scanned a 1964 Soviet pamphlet titled The Soviet Representative System. I will soon scan other works put out by the Soviets on their political system (and will also scan a book by a Hungarian academic discussing socialist constitutions.)

Scanned some more stuff: * The Soviet Union—State Capitalist or Socialist? A Marxist Critique of the International Socialists by a CPGB member back in the 1970s, the International Socialists being the early name of the UK SWP. * First Decrees of Soviet Power, self-explanatory, going up to July 1918. * The Role of the Communist Party in Socialist Society, a Soviet work from 1974 seeking to justify the leading role of the CPSU, discussing the subject of multiple parties under socialism, etc. * New Elements in the Evolution of Socialist Constitution by a Hungarian academic in the 1960s, discussing the role and nature of constitutions in socialist states. * Soviets of People's Deputies: Democracy and Administration, a Soviet work from 1989 discussing the activity of soviet bodies in the USSR and their shortcomings, evidently written in the spirit of Glasnost and Demokratizatsiya. In the coming weeks I will be scanning, among other things, a Soviet analysis of West European integration published in the early 80s and three books published in Beijing: a handbook from 1957 giving an overview of Chinese politics and society, a thousand-page encyclopedia of China since 1949 published in 1987, and a chronological history of the Communist Party of China from its founding to 1990.

Scanned some more books: * History of the Chinese Communist Party: A Chronology of Events (1919-1990), self-explanatory, published in Beijing in 1991. * West European Integration: Its Policies and International Relations, Soviet work from 1984 analyzing the EEC and Common Market from their founding onward. * Essays on the Asiatic Mode of Production by a Hungarian academic writing in the 1960s-70s and sympathetic to the concept. * Communism and Freedom, a 1970 work by a Soviet author. I also scanned a bunch of CPSU rules, e.g. as adopted in 1952, as adopted in 1961, and as adopted in 1986. I still have plenty more stuff to scan, including that 1000-page 1987 encyclopedia of China since 1949 and the three-volume Lenin Selected Works the Soviets published in the 70s. I also scanned a book from 1948 by an American Communist on US foreign policy titled Bases & Empire as part of scanning stuff relevant to a turn-based, text-based, simulation of the world of 1945 I'll be running elsewhere. As always, feel free to donate, for there are many books I can still buy, including those relevant to US history. Enver Zogha has issued a correction as of 08:46 on Mar 13, 2021 |

Still scanning. I put Lenin's three-volume Selected Works online: * https://archive.org/details/swlenin1 * https://archive.org/details/swlenin2 * https://archive.org/details/swlenin3 I also scanned a five-book Legislative Acts of the USSR: * https://archive.org/details/legislativeactsussrbook1 * https://archive.org/details/legislativeactsussrbook2 * https://archive.org/details/legislativeactsussrbook3 * https://archive.org/details/legislativeactsussrbook4 * https://archive.org/details/legislativeactsussrbook5 So if you ever wanted to read 1970s/early 80s Soviet legislation on housing, working conditions, health care, elections, and a bunch of other stuff, have fun. I also scanned a Soviet work titled Civil Law and the Protection of Personal Rights in the USSR from 1986. As always, I still have plenty more stuff to scan, e.g. a 1973 Soviet work titled The Future of Society: A Critique of Modern Bourgeois Philosophical and Socio-Political Conceptions, a similar Soviet work critiquing bourgeois conceptions of war and peace, a Soviet work from the 80s on US policy in Latin America since the end of WWII, etc.

Scanned a whole bunch of books, and I still have quite a few more to scan. * Marxist-Leninist Philosophy (500-page Soviet work from the 70s discussing various subjects) * A History of Classical Sociology (a 1979 Soviet work covering Spencer, Weber, Durkheim, Pareto, etc.) * Frederick Engels: A Biography (500-page Soviet bio from 1982) * Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels by David Riazanov (a 1927 overview in less than 200 pages by, at the time, the foremost researcher of their lives and writings) * The Future of Society: A Critique of Modern Bourgeois Philosophical and Socio-Political Conceptions (1973 Soviet work) * Problems of War and Peace: A Critical Analysis of Bourgeois Theories (1972 Soviet work) * Two Soviet works from the 70s criticizing efforts at class collaboration in capitalist countries: Social Partnership or Class Struggle? Theory, Legislation, Practice and “Human Relations” Doctrine: Ideological Weapon of the Monopolies * US Policy in Latin America: Postwar to Present (1987) * Diderot, Interpreter of Nature: Selected Writings * Fascism and Social Revolution by R. Palme Dutt * The Unstable Economy: Booms and Recessions in the United States Since 1945 (a 1973 work by the CPUSA's leading economist Victor Perlo) * Two books from the 70s by a Hungarian academic: Socialist Representative Institutions and The Constitutional Models of Socialist State Organization * Three compilations of writings by Khrushchev, grouped by subject: The Revolutionary Working-Class and Communist Movement, Imperialism — Enemy of the People, Enemy of Peace, The National Liberation Movement * Selected Works of Russian/Soviet botanist Ivan Michurin You can find everything I've scanned here: https://archive.org/details/@ismail_badiou (e.g. a 17-volume Labor Fact Book issued by CPUSA economists from 1931-1965 giving information on American wages, living conditions, civil rights, unionizing, etc.) Enver Zogha has issued a correction as of 11:56 on May 29, 2021 |

Scanned some more b00ks, e.g. * Aims and Methods of Soviet Planning by a Soviet economist from 1967. * Studies in the Development of Capitalism by Maurice Dobb, which discusses the origins of capitalism within the feudal period. * The Socialist Transformation of Capitalist Industry and Commerce in China, a 1960 Chinese work that discusses how the CPC pursued a policy of peacefully "buying out" the national bourgeoisie and gradually nationalizing its enterprises. * Friedrich Engels: A Biography by Gustav Mayer, long considered the standard account of Engels' life in English. * Selected Writings (1920-1969) of Ho Chi Minh, published in Vietnam in 1977. * The Road to Victory: The Struggle for National Independence, Unity, Peace and Socialism in Vietnam, a 1980 Soviet work briefly discussing Vietnamese history since 1945. * Socialism: Questions of Theory, a 1970s work by Richard Kosolapov, a prominent Soviet theorist who was seen as a possible successor to Mikhail Suslov as the CPSU's chief ideologist; the book discusses alienation, the role of commodities under socialism, etc. * The Developing Countries’ Social Structure, a Soviet work published in 1987. * Left-Wing Democracy in the English Civil War: A Study of the Social Philosophy of Gerrard Winstanley, which as the title suggests discusses Winstanley and the Digger Movement.

I'm not actually looking to build one, but I'm curious what the soviets saw as the practical steps towards building a strong and well organized party It's worth noting though that historically, such parties usually didn't spring up from some guy and a few of his friends saying "hello world, we're a communist party!" The CPSU for example traced its origins in part to various groups operating in specific parts of Russia in the 1890s (like the St. Petersburg League of Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class), each of which could boast of having some kind of following among the workers of their areas. These eventually decided it was time to form a single party, with the first congress being held in 1898. The Communist Party of China similarly formed through the efforts of Marxist groups in Shanghai, Beijing, etc., which had already done things like set up workers' schools for political education.

Enver Zogha posted:The closest I'm aware of is What Is the Party? from 1986 and Leninist Standards of Party Life from 1969. There were also various books aimed at foreign communist parties discussing issues like the use of violence in revolutions (e.g. The Political Economy of Revolution: Contemporary Issues as Seen from the Historical Standpoint.) I'm not aware of any that went into detail on specific "here's how to make a party cell in five easy steps" or whatever. I think these books will very helpful. Thank you!

Anime Bernie Bro posted:These two erroneously go to the same URL. Meanwhile, I've been scanning more books. The most ambitious thing I've scanned recently is the five-volume Selected Philosophical Works of Georgi Plekhanov: * Volume I * Volume II * Volume III * Volume IV * Volume V * A Science in Its Youth (Pre-Marxian Political Economy) (Soviet work) * Fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism (a lengthy Soviet book, published in 1963) * Historical Materialism: An Outline of Marxist Theory of Society (Soviet work) * The Concept of Freedom, a collection of writings by 1930s British Communist Christopher Caudwell * The World Communist Movement: Outline of Strategy and Tactics (Soviet work from 1973, the user "Red and Black" may be mildly interested in it) I've also been scanning a few b00ks by authors who are not necessarily Marxists but which are still of interest, e.g. * Threat from the East? Soviet Policy from Afghanistan and Iran to the Horn of Africa by Fred Halliday (1982) * Visa to Moscow (French journalist who knows Russian spends two months in the USSR of 1950) * Danger from the East (1947, an American journalist describes politics and society in postwar Japan, Korea, and China) * Electoral Practices in the U.S.S.R. (1956) * Two Germanies: Mirror of an Age (1966) * Germany Beyond the Wall (1969) * The Government and Politics of East Germany (1974) Enver Zogha has issued a correction as of 21:54 on Dec 13, 2021 |

Edit: The "someone I know who helps with the project" will see about setting up another PayPal donation thing. If that works out, I'll mention it in the next post of things I've scanned. Meanwhile here are two more books by Soviet authors I just scanned: * The Red Army (1943, as you might guess it's mostly focused on the Great Patriotic War) * The Armed Forces of the Soviet Union (1977, the more detailed of the two) As an aside, I've scanned a bunch of random books over the past month by non-Marxist authors, which I upload on a separate archive dot org account since they're not related to the project: * New Minds, New Men? The Emergence of the Soviet Citizen (1932, focuses on education) * Let’s Do Business With Russia: Why We Should and How We Can (1948) * Freedom's Battle and The Last Optimist by Del Vayo, the former is about the Spanish Civil War and the latter is more of an autobiography with additional chapters on said war * I Helped to Build an Army: Civil War Memoirs of a Spanish Staff Officer, pretty self-explanatory, about the Republican war effort * The Yoke and the Arrows: A Report on Spain (1961) by Herbert Matthews, liberal journalist * Colonial America (1968), a 700-page mainstream textbook history of the Thirteen Colonies * Black Democracy: The Story of Haiti (1936) * The German Octopus (1938) and South of Hitler (1939), both focused on Nazi foreign policy * That Blue Danube (1935), about Hungary and especially its irredentist foreign policy at the time * Gabriel Bonnot de Mably, a book outlining the life and views of the 18th century French philosopher who, among other things, influenced Babeuf * The Revolver Republic: France's Bid for the Rhine (1930), about French efforts to promote separatism in the Rhineland after WWI * The Vatican: Yesterday—Today—Tomorrow (1934) and The Catholic Crisis (1945) both by journalist George Seldes, the former book being an an overview of its subject, the latter discussing the influence of reactionary politics (e.g. anti-Semitism, pro-Franco propaganda) among Catholics in the United States Enver Zogha has issued a correction as of 01:10 on Jan 21, 2022 |
