About the book: 2007 / The memoirs of Angelika Balabanova, a world-famous Russian socialist, cover a dramatic period in the history of Europe from the end of the 19th century to the 30s of the 20th century. Being a very influential figure in the international labor movement, Balabanova was associated with many famous historical figures, including Mussolini, Liebknecht, Zetkin, Lenin, Trotsky, Zinoviev. Balabanova’s memoirs shed light on a very broad historical canvas, little known and largely distorted by opportunistic historiography.
