Anaïde Ter Minassian, Specifists at the dawn of Armenian marxism.
The creation in Baku of the Armenian Workers' Social-Democrat Organization, members of which were called "specifists", originates in the crisis of the Armenian society in Transcaucasia in the fall of 1903 and the divisions that appeared within the RSDWP at the Congress of London. The Specifists were marxists who agreed to the program of the RSDWP but refused its organization system, claiming for themselves alone the right to organize and to direct Armenian workers. Their theoretical position, very near to that of the Bund and of the Austro-marxism, expresses a great sensitivity as regards the national problem — particularly complex in the Armenian context — and the relation of this problem to the workers' movement. Even at its peak, during the 1905 Revolution, Specifism remains a minority movement which practically disappears on the eve of the First World War. However, whilst Specifists do not succeed in gaining among Armenian workers, they nevertheless achieve, thanks to their press and literature, a remarkable work of translation and diffusion of the Marxist thought within Armenian society. After the 1917 Revolution, the Specifists rallied to the Soviet regime and constituted during the twenties the first cadres of Soviet Armenia. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
