Information about Anti Soviet

Anti-Sovietism and Anti-Soviet refer to persons and activities actually or allegedly aimed against the Soviet Union or the Soviet power within the Soviet Union.

Three different flavors of the usage of the term may be distinguished.
  • Anti-Sovietism in the international politics, such as American opposition to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
  • Anti-Soviet opponents of Bolsheviks shortly after the Russian Revolution and during the Russian Civil War.
  • As applied to Soviet citizens involved or allegedly involved in anti-Soviet activities.

Soviet Union

In the USSR, the epithet "antisoviet" was synonymous with "counterrevolutionary". The noun "antisovietism" was rarely used and the noun "antisovietist" (Russian: антисоветчик, antisovetchik) was used in a derogatory sense.

During the Russian Civil War that followed the October Revolution of 1917, the anti-Soviet side was the White movement.

Whole categories of people, such as clergy, kulaks, former Imperial Russian police, etc. were automatically considered anti-Soviet. More categories are listed in the article "Enemy of the people".

Being anti-Soviet was a criminal offense in the Soviet Union. Anti-Soviet agitation and activities were political crimes handled by the Article 58 of the RSFSR penal code and similar articles in other Soviet republics.
