| Keywords: monochrome The All-Union Communist Party (bolsheviks) was the name of the ruling party in the Soviet Union between 1925 and 1952. It’s original name was the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (bolsheviks). It became the Russian Communist Party (bolsheviks) in 1918. From 1952 until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the party was called the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The designation “bolshevik” in parentheses after the party name was a holdover from when the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party split into Bolshevik and Menshevik factions in 1903. The Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (bolsheviks) was formed as a separate party in 1912. This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot. There are two scrapbooks of archival markings from the books sorted at the Offenbach Depot in the Seymour Pomrenze Collection held by the American Jewish Historical Society (Call number P-933) There is a finding aid for the collection here The digitized scrapbooks are available here and here.
