Cheers for uploading this! It seems to be missing the bibliographic essay though, which will be of interest to anyone researching the topic... Any chance you could scan that too?
Edit: My mistake, the bibliographic essay is on page 13 of the chapter 17 pdf. good shit!
2 thumbs up comrade(s)!
I'd almost suggest a chapter x chapter on-line reading group, but I'm afraid what that would turn into.
Bump; Black Cat have kindly sent us an A4-formatted version of the latest print run, which corrects some errors. I've uploaded that and unpublished (not deleted) the separate pdfs.
It's great that they have sent us that - but now I feel bad for the person who spent so much time scanning it! At least if they hadn't scanned we probably wouldn't be hosting the other PDF so it was not in vain!
Would you happen to know which pages those corrections are on?
Unfortunately not - they just emailed to say there were some errors in the earlier one and forwarded an A4 pdf of the latest print run.
The book is great
I'll learn Russian to read the real version since this book is just few champers from really big book in Russian 
It's my understanding that the original book will be translated into English. Black Cat Press will prolly publish the complete book in sveral smaller volumes.
I don't know about that. Anyhow, since I'm from Croatia - Russian is a easy to learn
Bloody slavs; always writing great big tomes that no one can translate in their entirety.
Glad to see Black Cat Press finally agreed to have this put up though.
BUMP: i've added a PayPal donate button, so if anyone fancies chucking Black Cat Press a few pennies towards future projects that would be cool, and hopefully help more stuff appear online in future too!
Bump, because I have formatted a bunch of this into a text version, and will do the rest as soon as I get a chance
Done.
I'm re-reading certain sections of this book again.There's one document which is mentioned, which I've not seen before. Wonding if someone can help me out in locating the FORA's "Memorandum" to the IWA founding Congress.
Vadim sites this Memorandum In Chapter 6, "From revolutionary Syndicalism to Anarcho-Syndicalism", Page 81-82, It is listed as Footnote #135 and taken from
" A. Lopez, La FORA, en el movimento obrero Vol. 1 (Buenos Aires 1987), pp 162-176 (Annexo # 208).
