In the 1930s, a desperate hunger strike by socialist prisoners, victims of Joseph Stalin's repressive regime, resulted in mass executions. In 1953, a strike by forced labourers sounded the death knell for the Stalinist forced labour system. And finally, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a series of strikes by new, independent miners' unions were central to overturning the Stalinist system. Paul Kellogg uses the story of Vorkuta as a frame with which to re-assess the Russian Revolution. In particular, he turns to the contributions of Iulii Martov, a contemporary of Lenin, and his analysis of the central role played in the revolution by a temporary class of peasants-in-uniform. Kellogg explores the persistence and creativity of workers' resistance in even the darkest hours of authoritarian repression and offers new perspectives on the failure of democratic governance after the Russian Revolution. 517 $a“Truth Behind Bars” 517 $a?Truth Behind Bars? 606 $aForced labor$zSoviet Union 615 0$aForced labor 676 $a331.117320947 700 $aKellogg$b Paul$01242036 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688599703321 996 $a"Truth Behind Bars"$93391332 997 $aUNINA
