Jewish Communist Labour Party (Poalei Zion)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jewish Social Democratic Labour Party (Poalei Zion) was a Zionist socialist political party in Russia. The party was founded in 1906. It was part of the international Poalei Zion movement. The party was illegal until 1917.[1]

The party suffered a major split in August 1919, when a dissident group formed the Jewish Communist Party (Poalei Zion). After the JCP(PZ) had merged into the Communist Party in 1922, the JSDLP(PZ) changed name to Jewish Communist Labour Party (Poalei Zion). The party was dissolved in 1928.[1]
