One of the pamphlets issued in response to the 1926 "Organizational Platform of the General Union of Anarchists," a controversial proposal from the Group of Russian Anarchists Abroad. The Platformists, including Nestor Makhno, called for a degree of organization in the international anarchist movement that they believed would give it greater resilience, taking lessons from the defeat of anarchists by the Bolsheviks after the Russian Revolution. Critics, including the Russian authors of this piece, believed that this level of organized federation would be a betrayal of anarchist ideals. (Inventory #: 260182)
