| Abstract: | In 1923 GLAVPOLITPROSVET, the political enlightenment section of the Soviet comissariat for education, Narkompros, and its literacy commission, Cheka likbez, launched a new literacy campaign with the primary emphasis on trade union membership, both employed and unemployed. Two factors motivated Cheka likbez and Glavpolitprosvet to begin their campaign with trade unions: illiteracy would be most easily overcome among the unions, and an industrialised state needed a literate work force. |
