The author has recently returned from a six-month research trip to the USSR (supported by the International Research and Exchanges Board, the ACLS, and the Guggenheim Foundation), where he collected materials on the St. Petersburg working class and the labor qeustion in general in the 1870's and 1880's. During an earlier trip he gathered materials on the 1950's and 1860's, which were utilized in his recent study, Labor and Society in Tsarist Russia: The Factory Workers of St. Petersburg, 1855–1870 (Stanford, 1971).
