Zhenotdel, Russian Women and the Communist Party, 1919-1930 RED ‘TEASPOONS OF CHARITY’: ZHENOTDEL, RUSSIAN WOMEN AND THE COMMUNIST PARTY, 1919-1930 by Michelle Jane Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Michelle Jane Patterson 2011 Abstract “Red ‘Teaspoons of Charity’: Zhenotdel, the Communist Party and Russian Women, 1919-1930” Doctorate of Philosophy, 2011 Michelle Jane Patterson Department of History, University of Toronto After the Bolshevik assumption of power in 1917, the arguably much more difficult task of creating a revolutionary society began. In 1919, to ensure Russian women supported the Communist party, the Zhenotdel, or women’s department, was established. Its aim was propagating the Communist party’s message through local branches attached to party committees at every level of the hierarchy. This dissertation is an analysis of the Communist party’s Zhenotdel in Petrograd/ Leningrad during the 1920s. Most Western Zhenotdel histories were written in the pre-archival era, and this is the first study to extensively utilize material in the former Leningrad party archive, TsGAIPD SPb. Both the quality and quantity of Zhenotdel fonds is superior at St.Peterburg’s TsGAIPD SPb than Moscow’s RGASPI. While most scholars have used Moscow-centric journals like Kommunistka, Krest’ianka and Rabotnitsa, this study has thoroughly utilized the Leningrad Zhenotdel journal Rabotnitsa i krest’ianka and a rich and extensive collection of Zhenotdel questionnaires. Women’s speeches from Zhenotdel conferences, as well as factory and field reports, have also been folded into the dissertation’s five chapters on: organizational issues, the unemployed, housewives and prostitutes, peasants, and workers. Fundamentally, this dissertation argues that how Zhenotdel functioned at ii the local level revealed that the organization as a whole was riven with multiple and conflicting tensions. Zhenotdel was unworkable. Zhenotdel’s broad goals were impeded because activists lacked financial and jurisdictional autonomy, faced party ambivalence and hostility, and operated largely with volunteers. Paradoxically, these volunteer delegates were “interns,” yet they were expected to model exemplary behaviour. With limited resources, delegates were also expected to fulfil an ever-expanding list of tasks. In addition, Zhenotdel’s extensive use of unpaid housewife delegates in the 1920s anticipated the wife-activist movement of voluntary social service work in the middle to late 1930s. There were competing visions for NEP society, and Zhenotdel officials were largely unable to negotiate the importance of their organization to other party and state organizations. Overall, this suggests that although the political revolution was successful in the 1920s, there were profound limits to the social and cultural revolution in this era. iii Dedication To the memory of my mum, Pamela Patterson, who fostered and modelled a commitment to learning in all her children. iv Acknowledgments Many people provided support for my research and dissertation. My committee members, Dr. Lynne Viola, Dr. Wayne Dowler and Dr. Robert Johnson, have demonstrated extraordinary patience, encouragement and valuable insights. With my British background it is difficult to express gratitude, but Dr. Lynne Viola has been an outstanding, diligent and compassionate senior supervisor. For my defense, I thank the chair, Dr. Uzo Esonwanne, and Dr. Alison Smith for her thoughtful comments. With a shared interest and enthusiasm in the topic, I thank Dr. Beatrice Farnsworth for her balanced assessment and varied questions as the external appraiser. The University of Toronto provided numerous scholarships, including a Connaught and research travel grants, to complete this dissertation. Archivists Irina Il’marovna Sazonovna and, in particular, Taissa Pavlovna Bondarevskaia, at TsGAIPD SPb proved essential in securing files but also gave me endless cups of tea, a shawl and a personal heater while in the reading room. Thanks also to the archivists at Moscow’s RGASPI and to the librarians at St.Peterburg’s Russian National (Public) Library. After meeting at Moscow’s RGASPI, Dr. Barbara Allen displayed true scholarly collegiality and sent me a valuable document on Aleksandra Kollontai. In Russia, Galya Makarova and Leonid Levitin provided vital accommodation. In Canada, many friends, family members and health care professionals have shown me considerable kindness and solicitude. My husband, Chris, has shown boundless support while teaching full time and completing his own doctorate in history. To our daughter, Miranda, who so frequently inquired, “Can I use the computer?” Rest assured, the era of panicked responses from your parents is over. v Glossary Agit-Prop the agitation and propaganda section batrachkas female agricultural wage labourers bedniak a poor peasant byt’ daily life Collegium executive-level meetings (of Zhenotdel, Agit-Prop etc…) FZU factory training schools KKOV peasants’ mutual aid society Kolkhoz any one of three forms of collective farms: toz, artel’ or kommuna Komsomol All-Russian Leninist Communist Youth League kulak a rich (exploiting) peasant kustar’ handicraftsman GSPS Provincial Council of Trade Unions GubKom provincial committee (of party, trade union etc…) Ispolkom executive committee (of soviet) Labour Exchange Commissariat of Labour’s unemployment offices Likbez Commission to Abolish Illiteracy MOPR International Aid Society of Revolutionary Fighters Narkomiust People’s Commissariat of Justice Narkompros People’s Commissariat of Enlightenment Narkomsobesa People’s Commissariat of Social Security vi Narkomtrud People’s Commissariat of Labour Narkomzdrav People’s Commissariat of Health NKVD People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs OMM Department of Maternity and Infancy Protection ONO Department of People’s Education Rabkrin Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspectorate raion district RSFSR Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic samogon illegally distilled spirits (moonshine) seredniak middle peasant sel’kory peasant newspaper or journal correspondents sel’sovet rural soviet, first link in the administrative chain, then volost’, uezd, raion, okrug, and guberniia respectively. shefstvo patronage society smychka union between town and country sluzhashchii employee, white-collar worker uezd county VTsSPS All-Russian Central Council of Trade Unions volost’ township VIK volost’ (township) soviet executive committee vydvizhenie (promotion) of workers and peasants into managerial or administrative jobs Zhenotdel women’s department of the Communist party vii Table of Contents Abstract.....................................................................................................................ii Dedication................................................................................................................iv Acknowledgments..................................................................................................... v Glossary ..................................................................................................................vi Chapter Introduction............................................................................................................... 1 Delegates and Delegates’ Meetings ........................................................................... 2 Sources...................................................................................................................... 6 Historical Precedents ................................................................................................. 7 Zhenotdel’s Creation and Liquidation...................................................................... 10 Chapter Breakdown................................................................................................. 15 1. “Zhenotdel is not a women’s organization”: the Politics of Feminism and Communism......................................................... 18 Questionnaires and Personnel.................................................................................. 20 Kollontai’s Resignation Letters and Nikolaeva’s Thwarted Directorial Debut.......... 25 Liquidationism and Agit-Prop ................................................................................. 33 Feminism and the “Second” Liquidationist Wave.................................................... 40 2. “‘Dead Souls’”: the Urban Unemployed ............................................................ 56 The Commission for the Improvement and Study of Female Labour in Industry...... 64 Workplace Dismissals and Married Women ............................................................ 66 Rationalisation and the Labour Exchanges............................................................... 70 The Causes of Female Unemployment: A Gendered Battleground ........................... 72 3. “We Parted Like Sisters”: Housewives and Prostitutes......................................... 96 Housewives’ Time and Their Uneasy Relationships ................................................ 98 Reaching Housewives Through the Printed Word.................................................. 111 Prostitution Framed as an Economic Issue............................................................. 116 “Public” and “Private” Sphere............................................................................... 123 Gendered Isolationism, Disease and Commodified Pleasure.................................. 128 Discussing Prostitution

The Trial of the New Woman: Citizens-in-Training in the New Soviet Republic Elizabeth A. Wood Our task consists in making politics accessible for every labouring woman and in teaching every [female] cook [kukharka] to run the government. – Vladimir Lenin, Third Congress of Soviets, 1918 The accusations were flying thick and fast against the defendant. She had pretensions to running the government and meddling in public affairs. She had taken part in strikes and demonstrations. She was trying to put all women on an equal footing with men. She had destroyed her own femininity, ceasing to be an object of beauty and pleasure for men, ceasing as well to raise her children and, instead, giving them into others’ hands. All these things, it was alleged, con- tradicted woman’s very nature, which was to serve as decoration in men’s lives. The setting was The Trial of the New Woman. The prosecution witnesses included a factory director, a lady secretary, a rich peasant, a priest, and a traditional family woman. The so-called ‘bourgeois’ court initially found the defendant guilty, but then workers appeared on stage, and her judges ran away. Her rights were restored, and she was recognised to be ‘equal to men in all respects’. This Trial of the New Woman was, of course, a mock trial, and the new woman herself emerged as the heroine of the play.

  • Utopian Visions of Family Life in the Stalin-Era Soviet Union
    Central European History 44 (2011), 63–91. © Conference Group for Central European History of the American Historical Association, 2011 doi:10.1017/S0008938910001184 Utopian Visions of Family Life in the Stalin-Era Soviet Union Lauren Kaminsky OVIET socialism shared with its utopian socialist predecessors a critique of the conventional family and its household economy.1 Marx and Engels asserted Sthat women’s emancipation would follow the abolition of private property, allowing the family to be a union of individuals within which relations between the sexes would be “a purely private affair.”2 Building on this legacy, Lenin imag- ined a future when unpaid housework and child care would be replaced by com- munal dining rooms, nurseries, kindergartens, and other industries. The issue was so central to the revolutionary program that the Bolsheviks published decrees establishing civil marriage and divorce soon after the October Revolution, in December 1917. These first steps were intended to replace Russia’s family laws with a new legal framework that would encourage more egalitarian sexual and social relations. A complete Code on Marriage, the Family, and Guardianship was ratified by the Central Executive Committee a year later, in October 1918.3 The code established a radical new doctrine based on individual rights and gender equality, but it also preserved marriage registration, alimony, child support, and other transitional provisions thought to be unnecessary after the triumph of socialism. Soviet debates about the relative merits of unfettered sexu- ality and the protection of women and children thus resonated with long-standing tensions in the history of socialism. I would like to thank Atina Grossmann, Carola Sachse, and Mary Nolan, as well as the anonymous reader for Central European History, for their comments and suggestions.

  • The Purpose of My Talk Today Is to Share the Results of My Research On
    The NEP Era: Soviet Russia 1921-1928, 2 (2008), 61-80. ELIZABETH A. HARRY (St. Paul, MN, USA) PETITIONERS AND THEIR DISCONTENTS: THE LOST GENERATION OF THE 1920s The history written on the early years of the Soviet Union has changed fo- cus in the past few decades. Instead of concentrating on high politics and the struggle for succession to the leadership of the Communist Party, scholars in the West have increasingly addressed the everyday life of average citizens, how they viewed and shaped the communist experiment, and how Soviet leaders responded to and attempted to mold popular views.1 Postcommunist studies concentrating on party politics and Soviet society at the grassroots level have shown that in the formative years of the Soviet Union, the division between leaders and led was less pronounced than had previously been as- 1. One line of revisionist historiography on the Soviet Union idealizes the NEP period and is based not merely in the desire to reveal Russia’s lost chances (see Robert Tucker’s summation of a conference of Russian and American scholars held in Moscow in 1989 which focused on “[t]he question of alternativnost’, the possible 1920s alternatives to the course history actually took in the 1930s” [“Soviet History in the 1920s,” Slavic Review 50, no. 2 (summer 1991): 239-40]), but also in a traditional conception of how history happens. Traditional interpretations see the politi- cal, economic, and social transformation of the Soviet Union that began in the late 1920s as a revolution from above (an assertion made by Stalin himself).

  • Historians As Activists: History Writing in Times of War
    Nationalities Papers (2021), 49: 4, 691–709 doi:10.1017/nps.2020.38 ARTICLE Historians as Activists: History Writing in Times of War. The Case of Ukraine in 2014–2018 Yuliya Yurchuk* Department of History and Contemporary Studies, Södertörn University, Sweden *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract This article elucidates the role of historians in times of war and the peculiarities of popular history narratives written by historians who became activists. The article focuses on historians who call themselves “Likbez. Historical Front.” This cohort gave rise to a new professional species—activist historians—who are different from so called memorians or propagandists, who work in service of authorities. Likbez historians tried to use their power to influence and promote their activist agenda not only in the realm of memory and history but also in reformation of state institutions. I argue that for Likbez historians, securitization of the past is the main strategy employed for producing historical knowledge. Historians’ work is a part of postcolonizing process observed in Ukrainian society since the Maidan protests. As the analysis shows, popular history narratives written with an open activist agenda are a result of many compromises made by scholars in the intersection of several factors: professional ambitions, political and civic aims, social and political context, popular expectations, and market environment. In line with the increased attention to agency in memory studies, this article demonstrates that historians have a much more nuanced relation to power than straightforward opposition or co-option. Keywords: Ukraine; history writing; memory; popular history; activism; securitization; postcolonizing process; empowerment The terms often used to define the military conflict in eastern Ukraine1—information war, war of narratives, or hybrid war—underline the crucial role of information in the conflict (Khaldarova and Pantti 2016; Nygren and Hök 2016; Bolin, Jordan, and Stålberg 2016).

  • RICHARD STITES (Lima, Ohio, U.S.A.) Zhenotdel: Bolshevism And
    RICHARD STITES (Lima, Ohio, U.S.A.) Zhenotdel: Bolshevism and Russian Women, 1917-1930 From reading about the early years of Soviet history in the vast majority of textbooks and accounts, the student the ' general might easily carry away impression that nothing of enduring significance went on in Russia between the inauguration of NEP in 1921 and the beginnings of industrialization in 1928 except the struggle for power between Stalin and his enemies. Materials on social innovation, experi- mentation, and popular mobilization are usually relegated to separate chapters subordinate to the "main" story. This is the result partially of our Western pre- occupation with purely political events and personalities; but partially also, it would seem, of a reluctance to grant excessive space to the positive achievements of the Russian Revolution. The campaigns against anti-Semitism and illiteracy, the labor schools and the mass edication drives, and the variety of morally inspired egalitarian and affirmative action movements-in other words, early "communism"-receive short shrift in most Western studies. This is all the more regrettable since much of the educational and liberation work done in these years, though certainly pushed into the background under Stalin, really constitutes the social and psychological foundations of present-day Soviet life. Nowhere is this truer than in the Zhenotdel campaign to emancipate Russian women in the years 1917 to 1930. Zhenotdel, the women's section of the Communist Party, had a pre-history. The first generally known Russian work dealing with the problem of women from a Marxist viewpoint was Krupskaia's pamphlet, The Woman Worker, written in Siberia and published in 1900.

  • The Baba and the Bolshevichka – Learning to Read Soviet Representations of Women’S Literacy in Early Soviet Culture
    The Baba and the Bolshevichka – Learning to Read Soviet Representations of Women’s Literacy in Early Soviet Culture Kathryn Martin University of Nottingham The importance of the female role in the Sovietisation process in post- Revolutionary Russia and beyond was not lost on many of the key figures of the Bolshevik party, not least Vladimir Lenin, who wrote many articles prior to the seismic social shifts of 1917 extolling the need to emancipate women from their current social positions, and emphasising the key role that the female figure had to play in bringing communism to the nation. Clara Zetkin, the German Marxist theorist and female activist recalled that in 1920, Lenin told her that: “We can rightly be Proud of the fact that in the Party, in the Communist International, we have the flower of revolutionary womankind. But that is not enough. We must win over to our side the millions of toiling women in the towns and villages. […] There can be no real mass movement without women” (1929: 69). However, one of the greatest barriers to this process were the overwhelmingly low levels of literacy among the adult female population Journal of Languages, Texts, and Society, Vol. 2 (2018), 48–66. © 2018 by Kathryn Martin.

The Baba and the Bolshevichka 49 after the Revolution, which according to some estimates, were as low as 17% (St George 25). This paper draws on Soviet linguistic theory and language policy in order to explore the relationship between the female literacy movement in the early Soviet period and its artistic representation in three different cultural items from this period: state produced propaganda posters, Olga Preobrazhenskaia’s 1927 film Baby Riazanskie (The Peasant Women of Riazan), and Andrei Platonov’s 1929 novel Kotlovan (The Foundation Pit).

    From Sickle to Hammer: Frictions’ Role in the Industrialization of Russia Guillem Blasco i Piles1 Advisor: Federico Tadei September 2018 Abstract This paper studies the structural transformation of Russia in 1885-1940 from an agrarian to an industrial economy. To do so, time-series for Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union during 1885-1940 are reconstructed and a methodology is developed that allows us to identify the different factors that had the largest quantitative impact on Russia’s economic development, through the reduction of frictions in the productive process. The results of the research showed that investment was the main economic variable in diminishing the production frictions. War communism exacerbated market distortions in the production process, due to their extremist policies in extremely harsh times. During Stalin’s Five-Year Plans, investment was channeled through the granted easy credit of the Gosbank to fund the impossible high production objectives. This set of policies seemed to have the largest impact in the reduction of the production market frictions of the analyzed period, particularly, the first Five Year Plan. At the contrary, education was not found significant in the reduction of the production frictions and, as expected, frictions remained high during the Tsarist Period, deterring industrialization.
