The Praxis Research and Educational Center is the independent, voluntary collective, founded in 1998 by scholars and social movements activists grouped around the Victor Serge Public Library in Moscow. Its aims are: to study the social and political thought of the anti-totalitarian Left as well as the historical experience of workers’ and other liberation movements; to develop and disseminate radical humanist, internationalist, democratic socialist and libertarian ideas; to assist social movements fighting for human rights and freedoms, social justice, popular self-government and self-management.
