The Transnational World of the Cominternians 2015th Edition, Kindle Edition


The 'Cominternians' who staffed the Communist International in Moscow from its establishment in 1919 to its dissolution in 1943 led transnational lives and formed a cosmopolitan but closed and privileged world. The book tells of their experience in the Soviet Union through the decades of hope and terror.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Studer’s book is exhaustively researched and cogently argued, and shines much-needed light on a category and subculture of communists who for too long have been mostly ignored. … her book should be required reading for specialists in Soviet history and the history of international communism.” (Jay Bergman, English Historical Review, Vol. 132 (556), June, 2017)

“The Transnational World of the Cominternians sounds exotic, offering to serve as a guide to the denizens of another planet. … In The Transnational World of the Cominternians one can see the outlines of a truly alternative history of the twentieth century.” (Padraic Kenney, The American Historical Review, October, 2016)

“This book presents a concentrated and engaging collection of historian Brigitte Studer’s research on international communism and its pivotal centre between the wars … . This book must surely be recommended to anyone interested in the Comintern, and will soon be seen as a standard reference work by both established scholars and future students of international communism and the Comintern.” (Fredrik Petersson, International Review of Social History, Vol. 61, April, 2016)

“Brigitte Studer emphasizes the importance of Soviet autobiographical practices in the lives of international communists. … chapters could easily be assigned to advanced undergraduates as standalone essays. The book provides a brief, accessible, and engaging English-language survey of Studer’s theoretically sophisticated body of work on international communism and Soviet subjectivity.” (Lisa A. Kirschenbaum, Slavic Review, 2016)
