A scarce six-month run of one of the most distinctive monthly journals of late Imperial Russian intellectual life. «Жизнь для всех» (Life for All) was founded in St. Petersburg in 1909 by Vladimir Aleksandrovich Posse (1864–1940) — journalist, publisher, cooperative-movement activist, and one of the most committed Russian disciples of Lev Tolstoy's ethical and economic teaching. Trained as a doctor and turned to journalism in the 1890s as editor of the influential «Жизнь» suppressed by the censor in 1901, Posse devoted the remainder of his career to the project of a «third way» between liberal capitalism and revolutionary Marxism: a non-violent, ethically grounded cooperative socialism rooted in popular self-help, mutual aid, and the moral renewal of everyday life. The journal mixed original poetry and prose (Aleksey Lipetsky, Alexander Bogdanov, A. Lugovoy, P. Zorin and others appear in the present numbers), social and economic essays, ethnographic and travel sketches, popular-scientific articles, reviews, bibliography, and a vigorous correspondence with subscribers — many of them rural cooperators, schoolteachers, and self-educated peasants. The 1911 issues offered here include a substantial cycle of obituaries and ethical reflections occasioned by the death of Tolstoy in November 1910, programmatic articles by Posse himself, and an editorial address to readers describing the cooperative basis on which the magazine was sustained. With its small print runs, fragile newsprint, and complicated subsequent fate (the journal was harassed by tsarist censors and finally suppressed in 1918), runs of «Жизнь для всех» are now uncommon, particularly in continuous monthly sequence; the present partial-year set is a substantial witness to Russian cooperative socialism on the eve of the First World War.
