Labor Protection in Soviet Russia

"Labor Protection in Soviet Russia" is a comprehensive study of the legislative and practical measures taken by the early Soviet state to safeguard the health and welfare of its industrial workforce. Written by George M. Price, an expert in industrial hygiene, this work provides an in-depth exploration of the Labor Code of 1922 and the various social insurance schemes implemented during the first decade of the Soviet Union. The book examines the institutional structures designed to enforce safety standards, including the role of labor inspectorates and the involvement of trade unions in factory management. Price details the specific protections afforded to women and youth, the regulation of working hours, and the advancements in occupational medicine and sanitary conditions within the rapidly industrializing nation. As a significant historical document, "Labor Protection in Soviet Russia" offers valuable insights into the social and political objectives of the Bolshevik government as it transitioned from revolution to state-building. It serves as an essential resource for scholars of Russian history, labor economics, and the global development of workers' rights, illustrating the intersection of ideology and practical industrial administration in the early twentieth century.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
