Subject: Re: AUT: Request- 1918 editions of 'Kommunist'


How is your Russian? If I sometime go to Lenin state library of Moscow I can
look for it, but
problem is that they haven't got microfilms and old papers are not allowed
to get xerocopied. 

Quite a lot of documents from the beginning of the century has been
published in hard cover or is in process to be published in Russia, this
includes
-2 big volumes documents of anarchist movements (1st published already)
-2 big volumes documents of Left wing esers (1st published already, handles
only 1918)
-3 big volumes documents of esers in general (1-2 out already)
-a fat book on Tyumen uprising, bigger left-wing uprising against Bolsheviks
in Siberia 1920 than Kronstadt, Makhnovitschina and Antonovists together
with some 150 000 participants. 
-Also a book Kronstandt documents

All of these of course in Russian, but I'll try to got some document done on
Tyumen thing on English in a few years. If you are interested to get some I
can get them from bookstore (I am sure none of them, all maybe 600 pages,
cost more than 10$), but do not except that I am able to do it very quickly.
If I run to some left-wing bolshevik stuff I may report to those who are
interested.
