Kommunist
1918


Kommunist was the journal of the "proletarian communists" or left communist faction of the Bolshevik Party in the Spring of 1918. It went through 11 editions in Petrograd and a further 4 in Moscow before ceasing to publish in June 1918. The contributors to Kommunist came together largely over two issues. They viewed the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in March 1918 as an error which would set back the world revolution, and they feared that Russia was heading towards a new form of capitalism, state capitalism.
