Abstract
In the introduction to his study, Dalin offers a critical survey of the literature on Babeuf. Everyone familiar with the writings on this subject can wholeheartedly support the author's conclusion that "the only portion of Babeuf's activity treated by them in any detail is that which occurred during the period of the Thermidorian reaction and the Directory. The early, prerevolutionary period in the life of Babeuf and his activities prior to 9 Thermidor have hitherto received quite inadequate treatment" (p. 5). It is precisely this significant gap that the present monograph fills. It employs a wide range of sources: Babeuf's personal files, preserved in the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the Party Central Committee; documents of the National Archives in Paris and the Archives of Russian Foreign Policy; the published writings and letters of Babeuf, and other materials.
