A wave of mass political and social unrest then began to spread across the vast areas of the Russian Empire.The General Jewish Labour Bund in Lithuania, Poland and Russia (Yiddish: אַלגעמײנער ייִדישער אַרבעטער־בונד אין ליטע, פּױלן און רוסלאַנד, romanized: Algemeyner Yidisher Arbeter-bund in Lite, Poyln un Rusland), [2] generally called The Bund (Yiddish: דער בונד, romanized: Der Bund, cognate to German: Bund, lit. 'federation' or 'union') or the Jewish Labour Bund (Yiddish: דער יידישער ארבעטער־בונד, romanized: Der Yidisher Arbeter-Bund), was a secular Jewish socialist party initially formed in the Russian Empire and active between 1897 and 1920. In 1917 the Bund organizations in Poland seceded from the Russian Bund and created a new Polish General Jewish Labour Bund which continued to operate in Poland in the years between the two world wars. The majority faction of the Russian Bund was dissolved in 1921 and incorporated into the Communist Party. Other remnants of the Bund endured in various countries. A member of the Bund was called a Bundist.In 1898, the Bund participated in the preparation and holding of the First Congress of the RSDLP, and entered the RSDLP as an organization autonomous in matters relating to the Jewish proletariat. Bund organizations led the economic struggle of Jewish workers (in 1898-1900 there were 312 strikes of the Jewish proletariat in the Northwestern Territory and the Kingdom of Poland), which expanded its influence. By the end of 1900, there were Bund organizations in 9 cities.The temporary success of the Zubatov movement among Jewish workers and the corporal punishment to which participants in the May Day demonstration in Vilna (1902) were subjected gave rise to a short-term passion for terrorism among the Bund leaders. The V Bund Conference (September 1902, Berdichev) called for responding to the white terror of tsarism with “organized revenge.” This resolution was canceled by the V Congress of the Bund (June-July 1903, Zurich). At the same time, the Bund leaders began to revise national demands. At the III Party Congress (1899, Kovno), the issue of national equality was put on the agenda. A representative of the foreign organization Mil made a presentation, proposing to include in the national program of the Bund, in addition to equal civil rights, equal national rights for Jews: it was decided to open a discussion on the national issue in the Yiddisher Arbeter magazine.The IV Congress of the Bund (May 1901) again began to consider the national question. The participants of the congress were unanimous in assessing the demand of the First Congress of the RSDLP for the right of nations to self-determination as too “vague” and recognized the preference for the national program of social democracy in Austria (they adhered to the slogan of national-cultural autonomy). Disagreements at the congress arose in connection with the discussion of the place and role of the national problem in the propaganda and agitation of the Bund. After disputes, the congress adopted a compromise resolution proposed by P. I. Rosenthal. It recognized that the future state structure of Russia should be a federation of nationalities with full national autonomy for each of them, regardless of the territory occupied. The resolution stated that in the current conditions the demand for national autonomy is premature; it is advisable to fight for the abolition of all exceptional laws adopted in relation to Jews (from the late 18th to the beginning of the 20th centuries).The V Congress of the Bund (June-July 1903) put forward as an ultimatum the demand for recognition of the Bund as “the only representative of the Jewish proletariat.” The Second Congress of the RSDLP rejected this demand, and the Bund delegation (M. Lieber, K. Abramson, V. Goldblat, I. Yudin and V. Hoffman) left it, declaring the Bund’s withdrawal from the RSDLP. Subsequently, the national program of the Bund was repeatedly discussed and clarified at its congresses and conferences (resolution on the national question adopted at the VI Bund Congress in October 1905, decisions of the X Conference (April 1917)).The Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP; Russian: Российская социал-демократическая рабочая партия (РСДРП), Rossijskaja social-demokratičeskaja rabočaja partija (RSDRP)), also known as the Russian Social Democratic Workers' Party or the Russian Social Democratic Party, was a socialist political party founded in 1898 in Minsk (then in Northwestern Krai of the Russian Empire, present-day Belarus).Formed to unite the various revolutionary organizations of the Russian Empire into one party, the RSDLP split in 1903 into Bolsheviks ("majority") and Mensheviks ("minority") factions, with the Bolshevik faction eventually becoming the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
