Resumen

This article investigates strike activity in the early Soviet Union period. Using monthly OGPU (political police) reports to Stalin, the essay provides statistical evidence on the frequency, participants, and resolution of workers' strike activity. It argues that rather than repression, workers and state reached a 'compromise' during the New Economic Policy era that was later undermined by Stalin's draconian measures against the working class during rapid industrialization. It shows workers unrest during this later period and explains why some workers fought back while the overwhelming majority did not.
