Abstract
The activity of the Communist League (Kommunisten-Bund), 1847–1852, and of its immediate predecessors – the League of the Just (Bund der Gerechten), 1838–1847, and the Communist Correspondence Committee (Kommunist. Korrespondenz Kommittee), 1846–1847 – was undoubtedly one of the most interesting stages in the large process of the formation of the international labor movement in its initial period. The history of these organizations is important from many points of view: it is important for the understanding both of the true roots of this movement, and of its search for organizational forms; and particularly for the light it throws upon the history of its efforts to develop a program and tactics. This is why research has so often turned its attention to this subject. And yet, in terms of completeness and scientific documentation, there is as yet no study providing a satisfactory survey of the life and activities of these organizations.
