1922 Open letter to Russian party leaders
The Letter of the Twenty Two was a letter written by twenty two
working class members of the
Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik) expressing their concerns about the rift which they perceived between workers and party leaders. It was addressed to the
Executive Committee of the Communist International and sent on February 26, 1922.
[1] The original twenty two signatories were all
metalworkers. However
Alexandra Kollontai and
Zoya Shadurskaia, both prominent
Bolshevik women of
noble background, subsequently signed the letter.
