Books by Reginald E. Zelnik

This text uses a single episode - a militant strike at the Kreenholm factory, Europe's largest textile plant - to explore the broad historical moment. In examining this event, it sheds fresh light on local power relations, high politics, the origins of the Russian labour movement and more.

Provides a biography of Anna Pankratova, a woman from Odessa who became a leading labour historian and academic administrator in the Soviet Union, from the 1920s to her death. This work portrays her as a victim and a victimizer. It also includes excerpts from two Soviet texts. One of them is her historic speech on the menace of Stalinist legacies.
