Glossary

This is a glossary of names, groups, periodicals, and terms referenced in the main text. The people section covers key figures in the Russian, German, Austrian, Polish, and Ukrainian socialist movements, including Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, Bundists, and Cadets, with brief biographical notes on their political positions. The terms section defines organisations (e.g., the Bund, Spartacus League), newspapers (e.g., Iskra, Pravda), and concepts (e.g., Economism, Bernsteinism). A reader consulting this section will find concise identifications of the historical actors and publications central to the book’s analysis, without extended theoretical discussion.
