Kommunist

코무니스트

Theoretical journal of the CPSU Central Committee. Founded in 1924 as Bolshevik and renamed Kommunist in 1952, it served as the official arena for doctrinal exposition and debate until 1991, when it became Svobodnaya Mysl. Its editors-in-chief included Aleksei Rumyantsev and Fyodor Konstantinov; in the late perestroika years Yegor Gaidar ran its economics department. Two earlier journals bore the same title: the 1915 Geneva emigre journal where Lenin broke with Bukharin and Pyatakov over national self-determination, and the 1918 organ of the Left Communists who opposed the Brest-Litovsk peace.
