Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to analyse how international solidarity was articulated in the context of the famine in Soviet Russia in 1921. The chapter will, firstly establish the origins of the Comintern’s famine relief initiative which resulted in the establishment of the Arbeiterhilfe as a workers’ relief organisation for Soviet Russia. Secondly the chapter will analyse how the Arbeiterhilfe and Munzenberg attempted to ‘awaken’ a strong, unified international solidarity movement amongst the German workers. What were the Arbeiterhilfe’s initial motives and how was its mission constructed through its articulations of solidarity? Who was included in this solidarity and what was its objective? How was international solidarity understood in relation to philanthropy and humanitarianism?
