Tadeusz Swietochowski, The Himmät party. Socialism and the national question in Russian Azerbaijan 1904-1920.
In 1904, a handful of young Azerbaijanis, mainly from among the intelligentsia, initiated propaganda activity directed at their countrymen. The group assumed the name Himmät after the title of the clandestine publication it issued in the Azerbaijani language. The target of its attack was not so much the system of capitalism as the Tsarist bureaucracy and the Moslem clergy. Under the Stolypin reaction, the Himmät came to face the harsh policy of repressions. In 1917 the reborn party, by far more Marxist than ten years ago, failed to recapture its following. It broke up in a manner mirroring the alignment within the Russian Social-Democracy in Transcaucasia. The Baku Himmâtists led by Nanmanov turned pro-Bolshevik, whereas in the provinces the general tendency was to follow the Mensheviks, dominant throughout the rest of the region and notably in Georgia. In 1919, the men linked in the past to the "Tiflis Centre" now labeled as the "Right", kept the name of the Azerbaijani Social-Democratic Party — Himmät. The "Left", which after the split began to call itself the Azerbaijani Communist Party — Himmät, accepted as its goal "power to the Soviets in Azerbaijan". Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
