Ludmilla A. Patrick Collection
Scope and Contents
The Ludmilla A. Patrick Collection contains a painting of Ludmilla Patrick and two groups of untitled collections of bound pamphlets. The Worker's Business pamphlet grouping appears to relate to рабочего дело, or "Worker's Business," for the Russian Social-Democratic Workers’ Party and was likely published in Geneva. This grouping includes commentary on Socialism in the United States and financial accounts for the Social Democrats from 1901-1902, as well as a listing of other pamphlets available for purchase.
The second Zarya grouping of publications includes a number of essays, as well as additional commentary on "Worker's Business" and writings by Karl Kautsky, Georgi Plekhanov, David Riazanov, Nartsis Tuporylov (Julius Martov), Vera Zasulich, P. Molotov, and Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Volkenshteyn. This grouping is possibly an issue of the Socialist journal Zarya. Items are arranged chronologically.
