Golos truda

Golos truda (Russian: Голос труда, lit. 'The Voice of Labour') was a Russian-language anarchist newspaper. Founded by working-class Russian expatriates in New York City in 1911, Golos truda shifted to Petrograd during the Russian Revolution in 1917, when its editors took advantage of the general amnesty and right of return for political dissidents. There, the paper integrated itself into the anarchist labour movement, pronounced the necessity of a social revolution of and by the workers, and situated itself in opposition to the myriad of other left-wing movements. The rise to power of the Bolsheviks marked the turning point for the newspaper however, as the new government enacted increasingly repressive measures against the publication of dissident literature and against anarchist agitation in general, and after a few years of low-profile publishing, the Golos truda collective was finally expunged by the Stalinist regime in 1929.
