The Draft Organizational Platform for a General Union of Anarchists, known as the Arshinov Platform or as simply the Platform,
Publication
editAfter years in exile, Nestor Makhno and Peter Arshinov founded a libertarian communist theoretical review periodical, Delo Truda (The Cause of Labor), in Paris in 1925.[1] The group published the Draft Organizational Platform for a General Union of Anarchists in June 1926 as an expression of their collective ideas. Though written collectively, it is known as the Arshinov Platform, since his signature accompanied its initial publication, as the group's secretary.[2]
