Reginald Zelnik uses a single episode--a militant strike at the Kreenholm factory, Europes largest textile plant--to explore the broad historical moment. In examining this crucial event of Russian history he sheds fresh light on local power relations, high politics in St. Petersburg, controversies over the rule of law, and the origins of the Russian labor movement. Zelnik sees this pivotal moment in Russian labor history as the beginning step in the series of conflicts that eventually led to the upheavals of the early twentieth century.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to express my gratitude to the individuals who did so much to help me prepare this book and to the institutions that provided me with support. My attention was first attracted to the Kreenholm strike when, in connection with my research on St. Petersburg workers who belonged to radical study circles in the 1870s, I encountered repeated references not only to that strike but also to a number of politicized Petersburg workers who had taken part in it. (Among them was Vasilii Gerasimov, whose memoir is printed as chapter 7 of this study.) In 1982 I had the privilege of serving as co-organizer of an NEH-supported Berkeley conference on Russian labor history, where my own contribution was a somewhat truncated paper on the early stages of the Kreenholm strike, prepared at a time when I had not the slightest notion that I would one day expand my preliminary exploration of the strike into a book-length study. Because this would not have happened without the stimulus provided by panelists at the conference, I wish to express my thanks to all of them, but especially to Abraham Ascher, Victoria Bonnell (co-organizer of the conference), Daniel Brower, Leopold Haimson, Robert Johnson, David Montgomery, William Rosenberg, and Ronald Suny. These and other participants all had valuable advice, much of which I wisely took. (I am also grateful to Professors Ascher and Suny, as well as to my Berkeley colleague Nicholas Riasanovsky, for their more recent criticisms of the book manuscript.) Lynn Hunt and Thomas Laqueur both gave the original paper
