Издательство Iskra Research было основано в 1993 г. с целью раскрыть перед русскоязычным читателем скрытые сталинизмом страницы истории. Мы намерены печатать исторические, социологические и политические работы марксистов-противников сталинизма, проливающие свет на трагичную судьбу первого пролетарского государства, его истоки, подъем, перерождение и крах. Эта работа требует самого скрупулезного и научного подхода к историческим материалам, кропотливой работы в архивах, проверки первоисточников и пр. Но плодами ее будут публикации достоверных документов, раскрывающие перед читателем сущность Русской революции, ее движущих сил и ее места в истории ХХ-го века. | The Iskra Research publishing house was established in 1993 with a goal to reveal to the Russian reader those pages of history which have been for so long hidden by Stalinism. We intend to publish historical, social, political and cultural works of the Marxist enemies of Stalinism, which shed light on the tragic fate of the first workers' state, its roots, rise, degeneration and collapse. This work requires the most scrupulous and scientific approach to historical materials, painstaking work in the archives, analysis of primary sources, etc. But its results will appear in the publication of authentic documents, revealing the essence of the Russian Revolution, its moving forces, its place in the history of the twentieth century. |
Three works of Leon Trotsky and a collection of writings of Adolf Joffe in the original Russian have been published in inexpensive paperbacks.
Politics of Iskra Research We stand in political support of the International Committee of the Fourth International and its American representative, the Socialist Equality Party. The politics of ICFI are laid out on the World Socialist Web Site wsws.org
Iskra Research is very proud to have published in 1994—1998 the on-line version of the quarterly journal of the Cheliabinsk (Russia) Bureau of the ICFI (in Russian). Some of our better articles are published in "Social Equality", the Russian language journal of the ICFI.
