Roman Rosdolsky: Man, Activist and Scholar
The translated article of the Polish historian Janusz Radziejowski
(1925-2002) offers a succinct biography of Roman Rosdolsky (1898-1967), one of
the most distinguished representatives of Ukrainian Marxist thought. In the
interwar era Rosdolsky was one of the activists of the Marxist movement in
Galicia. During the Second World War he was an inmate of Nazi concentration
camps, after the war he focused on scholarly pursuits. Rozdolsky's oeuvre
contains monographs on the history of agricultural reforms in the Habsburg
Empire and works on the national question as reflected in Marxist thought.
