Bogdanov’s PROBLEMS OF SOCIALISM (1918)
I found and scanned the original 1918 edition of Bogdanov’s collection of essays called Вопросы социализма [Problems of Socialism]. These essays are all available in the 1990 version of the book with the same title – that edition contained many more essays and can be found online as well. The original 1918 edition included only […]
Bogdanov – Ol’minskii – Our Misunderstandings (1904)
I added a link to a small pamphlet from 1904 – Наши недоразумения – to the ‘Main Works’ page.
