The memoirs of Mikhail Baitalsky (1903-1978) are the only record of the lives and work of the young revolutionaries in Ukraine who came of age during the Russian Revolution in 1917 and perished for supporting the Left Opposition to Stalin in the 1920s. He tells of his own experiences and those of his closest friends as they developed into revolutionary leaders, a cadre within the Red Army, and worker and youth organizers, whose commitment to the Revolution's ideals finally led to their repression when they protested against the bureaucratic apparatus being developed by the government. Baitalsky was not only a Marxist, but a Jew. He describes the deep anti-Semitism of the counter-revolutionaries during the civil war in the Ukraine, the liberating atmosphere of the Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary periods when many Jews were able to play prominent roles, and the later revival of anti-Semitism by Stalin and his bureaucracy. Arrested three times during the Stalin era, he served two terms in the notorious Vorkuta labor camp. Finally released in 1956, he began writing about his experiences in 1958. The project took twelve years to complete and took the form of nine "notebooks" -- which he called NOTEBOOKS FOR THE GRANDCHILDREN.
