The first "vsevobuch" was urged by the 7th Congress of the Bolshevik Party. It took place de jure in March 1918 to fight the remnants of opposition to Soviet rule. Initially Vsevobuch engaged mainly the workers; from that summer, it also took poor peasants. Ippolit Sokolov's "Sistema trudovoi gimnastiki" was published in 1922. The whole process was canceled in 1923.
