History and profile

[edit]

Revolutsionnyi vostok was launched by the KUTV in 1927.[1][2] It came out monthly[1] and was headquartered in Moscow.[3] In the second issue the journal featured the Russian translation of the first chapter of the Mao Zedong's Hunan report which described the details of the Chinese peasant movement.[4] In 1929 the journal published articles in which Nikolai Nasonov and Endre Sík discussed the distinct understandings of race based on Marxism.[5] The journal folded in 1938.[1]
