Twentieth Century Communism

ISSN 1758-6437

Twentieth Century Communism is a peer-reviewed journal, published twice a year which provides an international forum for the latest research on the subject and an entry-point into key developments and debates not immediately accessible to English-language historians. Its main focus is on the period of the Russian revolution (1917-91) and on the activities of communist parties themselves. However, its remit will also extend to the movement’s antecedents and rivals, the responses to communism of political competitors and state systems, and to the cultural as well as political influence of communism.

‘The spectre of communism no longer haunts Europe, but we still need to understand its history without fighting old battles or waging new ones. Twentieth Century Communism provides an excellent platform for the post-communist history of communism.’ Donald Sassoon, Emeritus Professor of Comparative European History, Queen Mary, University of London

‘Twentieth Century Communism has quickly become an indispensable forum for those interested in communist history. It is fresh, lively, wide-ranging refreshingly free of polemics.’ Stuart Macintyre, Professor of History, University of Melbourne (2011)

‘Twentieth Century Communism has been for many years now a journal that combines the highest standards of scholarship with an engagement with manifold issues that shed new light on the trajectories of communism which helps all those interested in labour and labour movement history to understand better the role that Communism played in global twentieth-century history.’ Stephen Smith, Professor of History, University of Oxford
