Reisende der Weltrevolution

The history of the 20th century cannot be understood without the history of communism. In 1919, the Communist International took shape as a revolutionary project that was based on a well-organized and globally connected avant-garde. With a particular focus on a group of transnationally engaged women and men, Brigitte Studer paints a comprehensive picture of the Comintern from a global perspective - from Moscow and Berlin to Baku and Tashkent, and all the way to Wuhan and Shanghai. She illustrates the social reality of the division of labor within the Comintern and the experiences, hopes, and also disappointments of those for whom the revolution was both work and a way of life.
