Inside the 1921 Moscow congress, a traveling delegate reveals how a global labor body was shaped, debated, and contested.

This firsthand report examines the proceedings of the Red Trade Union International’s first congress held in Moscow in 1921. It covers credentials, national delegations, and the fierce clashes between syndicalists, reformists, and Communists, all set against a volatile period in international labor history. The book presents the author’s perspective on who controlled the talks, which proposals were pushed, and how decisions were made in a packed, politically charged gathering.

How delegates were selected, seated, and counted for votes in a highly orchestrated environment.
The role of different labor organizations and how their influence shaped resolutions.
Key disputes and resolutions that illustrate tensions between revolutionary and reformist currents.
A window into the broader labor movement’s international dynamics during the early 1920s.

Ideal for readers of labor history and 20th‑century political movements seeking a closer look at the realities behind early international trade union politics.
