Gabriel Gorodetsky, The Soviet Union and Britain's general strike of May 1926.
The article examines the intensive diplomatic activities of the Soviet trade unions, which built on the theoretical foundations laid by Comintern by approaching British non-communist workers in an attempt to channel their solidarity into pressure on the British Government of the day. The alliance culminating in the formation of a joint committee, assumed a prominent position in Soviet diplomatic calculations. The general strike of 1926 put to an acid test the concepts underlying Soviet policy-making; it remained to be seen to what degree were the Russians prepared to pursue the diplomatic advantages embodied in the united front with the Trades Union Congress; whom they blamed for betraying class interests. The need to preserve the Soviet leadership's status as the avant-garde of world revolution without sacrificing national interests resulted in drastic revision of the relations between Comintern and Narkomindel.
