11Questione nazionale e «fronte unico»: Zetkin, Radek e la lotta d’egemonia contro il fascismo in GermaniaMaterialismo Storico 3 (2): 140-169. 2017.After the end of the First World War, the Treaty of Versailles and the French military occupation of the Ruhr mines, is Germany still the heart of the forthcoming socialist revolution in Europe?
