Life and Labor Commune

The Life and Labor Commune was an anarchist commune which existed in the USSR from 1921 to 1930. Peter Gelderloos explains: It was an agricultural commune established near Moscow in 1921 by people following the pacifist and anarchist teachings of Leo Tolstoy. Its members, nearly one thousand at their peak, were at odds with the Soviet government on account of refusing to perform military service. For this reason, the commune was finally shut down by the authorities in 1930; but during its existence, the participants created a large self-organized community in peace and resistance.Peter Gelderloos (2010) Anarchy Works
