Background
- Scope and content:
-
The Ludmilla A. Patrick Collection contains a painting of Ludmilla Patrick and two groups of untitled collections of bound pamphlets. The Worker's Business pamphlet grouping appears to relate to рабочего дело, or "Worker's Business," for the Russian Social-Democratic Workers' Party and was likely published in Geneva. This grouping includes commentary on Socialism in the United States and financial accounts for the Social Democrats from 1901-1902, as well as a listing of other pamphlets available for purchase.
The second Zarya grouping of publications includes a number of essays, as well as additional commentary on "Worker's Business" and writings by Karl Kautsky, Georgi Plekhanov, David Riazanov, Nartsis Tuporylov (Julius Martov), Vera Zasulich, P. Molotov, and Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Volkenshteyn. This grouping is possibly an issue of the Socialist journal Zarya. Items are arranged chronologically.

Ludmilla Alexandrovna Patrick was born in Vladivostok, Russia but immigrated to the United States in 1919, where she did graduate work in history and received an M.A. in Russo-Japanese relations from the University of California, Berkeley. She taught language and Russian drama and folklore courses at Berkeley beginning in 1937. Ludmilla also wrote and published Fourteen Russian One-Act Plays in 1950. She retired in 1963 and passed away October 19, 1976 after a brief illness.
Her husband George Z. Patrick worked as assistant to the legal department of the Russian Embassy's Division of Supplies in the United States until 1919, when he began studying for a PhD in French. He later taught French and Russian, and served as head of the Slavic Department at UC Berkeley.
