MIA: History: International: Communist International: The Communist International 1919-1924 [the “Old Series”]
Workers of the World Unite!
The Communist International
Organ of the Executive Committee of the Communist International
All copies from Nos. 1-30 are published at 16 King Street, Covent Garden, London, W.C.2 and are stated to be THE COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL, Organ of the Executive Committee of the Communist International, English Edition. No. 29 has a date December 1923, the only one. Number 24 is a different format but an article by Z Leder is concluded in No. 25. It is stated that No. 24 is published in London as are all subsequent numbers. The order of articles on the contents page of No. 24 is very odd and the order of articles has been rearranged in conformity with later issues. The reviewer of the Adler-Engels Correspondence is Maxim Zetkin — it is not a misprint for Clara Zetkin.—Ted Crawford.
We are presenting here pdf files of the the original series of The Communist International published in English in London 1919 - 1924. These we are calling “Volume 1”. Numbers 1 - 23 by Google from the 1968 Greenwood Reprint of these issues, but with numerous flaws (included particularly poor scans of the photo plates in them, and some scrambled pages). Marty Goodman of the Riazanov Library digital archive project repaired some of the flaws in those Google scans, which we now present here. Issues 24 - 30 were scanned by Marty Goodman from the Greenwood reprints, with some enhancements from scans of covers of original issues.
Even back in 1968, when Greenwood Press was making its reprint of The Communist International, many English language issues of CI in that first series of 30 issue numbers were not available. Greenwood Press appears to not have been sure whether they simply were never printed, or whether they were lost to history. Greenwood Press presented for these number issues German language issues. We provide these here.
Numbers 7-8, 10, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 of the "Old Series" (first series, in effect Volume 1) of The Communist International here are presented as the GERMAN language editions, because both Greewood press and Riazanov Library were unable to find English versions of these numbers. The tables of contents listed in English for them on this page were translated from Russian language editions. We also provide, here, text of the tables of contents translated by John H. from the German language editions, for comparison.
Additionally, both Greenwood Press in its introduction to its reprint and we of Marxists.org now, too, apologize for the fact that quality of text in the originals that were reproduced by Greenwood Press... and thus in these digital reproductions... for some of the original old series of CI is extremely poor.
The “New Series”(what we are calling Volume 2) of Communist International in English, Numbers 1 - 23 1924 - early 1926, we are also presenting here. About 2/3 of these were scanned by Marty Goodman of the Riazanov Library digital archive project from the 1968 Greenwood Reprint. The remaining 1/3 were scanned from original issues of Communist International, meticulously disassembled into signatures and scanned at high resolution, with the pages absolutely flat during the scan.
All Communist International files posted here have OCR, and most have been constructed so that an Acrobat display of thumbnails of the files provides exact correspondence between the numbers on the thumbnails and the page numbers in the issue (exceptions are those cases where CI put two pages numbers on each page... one for each column on the same page).
The filenames contain flags that inform re the origin of the scans:
- goog = scanned by Google (with fixes and enhancements added)
- riaz = scanned by Marty Goodman of the Riazanov Library digital archive project
- orig = scanned from an original issue
- grn = scanned from the 1968 Greenwood Reprint of the Communist International
- r[n] = revision of the release of the file
- GER = German language issue
Note regarding volume names:
The first series of Communist International bore no name or volume number. It includes issues numbers 1 - 30. Published in London 1919 - early 1924. It is often referred to as the “original series”or as the “old series”. The latter because the next series is officially called the “New Series”. We are calling this Volume 1 in the file names of the pdf files provided here.

We are calling this Volume 1 in the file names of the pdf files provided here.
The second series of Communist International stated on it that it was the “New Series”. It includes issues numbers 1-23. This spans early 1924 through early 1926. We are noting it as “new series”in the volume names (because it calls itself that in print), but also calling “Volume 2".
After that, the Communist International began assigning Volume numbers to subsequent runs of issue numbers. Starting with Volume 3 for October, November, and December of 1926. Hence our back-numbering of Volume 2 and Volume 1. It wasn't until Volume 8, 1931, that a given volume number was assigned to a single year of publication of CI.
Here is a text file listing the Series / Volume numbers and dates of issues of CI.
Note things get a bit muddled after 1934, when CI began to be published both in London and in New York City, with different content in same numbered issues, and even different issue numbers. Our listing is primarily if not entirely of the London-published issues.
Pamphlets and reference material from the Communist Party of Great Britain that were advertised in the pages of The Communist International. Digitized as part of this project.
