«The Last of the Srs»: New York group of the AKP in the second half of the 1940s – early 1950

Abstract

The article is devoted to the final period in the history of the Party of Socialist Revolutionaries (SRs), associated with the stay of its leaders in New York in the second half of the 1940s-early 1950s. The source base for the study was the materials of the Bakhmetev Archive of Columbia University (New York, USA) and the Hoover Archive of War, Revolution and Peace (Stanford, USA). The author proves that during the described period, the New York group of the AKP remained the only organizational unit of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party. Its key project was the publication of the magazine "For Freedom", which published the surviving leaders of the AKP. The author comes to the conclusion that the Socialist Revolutionary Party made an important contribution to the history of Russian political thought. © 2023, Vladivostok State University.
