The Soviet Revolutionary Communists (Bolsheviks)

Programmatic Proclamation of the Soviet Revolutionary Communists (Bolsheviks). (This Programmatic Proclamation Has Been Distributed in the Soviet Union by the Soviet Bolshevik Communists)

London, Red Star Press, 1975. Uniform edition; 6 3/4 x 4 3/4; pp. 3-79, [1]; gray wraps, printed in black and decorated with a red star; slight ripple and very mild discoloration to edges of wraps; small nicks to tips of spine; in good to very good condition. Critisizing the leadership of Nikita Khrushchev as revisionist, the Soviet Revolutionary Communists (Bolsheviks) was one of the earliest anti-revisionist movements, with members claiming to be an underground political faction in Soviet Russia, who supported Stalin's legacy. The organization shadowed the line taken by the People's Republic of Albania and the People's Republic of China, though it has been speculated that the group never existed and was a fictitious invention by the Albanian Party, seeing that the only evidence of its existence came from contemporary Albanian sources. The current publication was released for the 1966 congress of the Party of Labour of Albania and, among other things, staunchly criticized the lavish lifestyles of the upper classes of the Soviet bureaucracy.
