The article analyzes the program documents of one of the groups of the inner-party communist opposition, the group “Rabochaya Pravda” (“Worker’s Truth”). The official party propaganda declared its members followers of A. Bogdanov and A. Bogdanov was accused of involvement in drawing up the program documents of the group and in leading it, which he himself reasonably denied. This article analyzes the documents of “Rabochaya Pravda” primarily from the perspective of the reception and transformation of Bogdanov's ideas in them. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that despite the presence of terminological coincidences and ideological borrowings, the members of the group were not fully followers of A. A. Bogdanov. However, some of their views are close to his ideas.

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of A. A. Bogdanov's novel “The Red Star” and P. P. Infantiev's story “On Another Planet” (“The Inhabitants of Mars”). By these works we can judge about the ideas of revolutionary writers of the early twentieth century about the structure of future society, which appears to the reader in the description of the Martian civilization, as well as how and in what directions people of that time saw the development of science and technology. Genre, plot, the image of the protagonist and the fate of the authors of these works are very similar. Despite the similarity, the descriptions of Mars in them differ in many ways, which is largely due to the difference in the personalities of the authors, their character and way of thinking.

The article deals with the history of origin and attempts to implement the idea of A.A.Bogdanov about the Proletarian University as one of the means of mastering the proletarian culture by working class. The task of Proletarian University is not to provide students with fragments of knowledge, but to give them a general idea about the system of modern scientific knowledge, to show the interrelation of different branches of science, to teach basic methods of cognition. The idea of the Proletarian University was first formulated by A.A.Bogdanov in 1911, and the first attempt to implement it and at the same time its first prototype was the party schools for workers in Capri and Bologna.

The article deals with the history of origin and attempts to implement the idea of A.A.Bogdanov about the Proletarian University as one of the means of mastering the proletarian culture by working class. After the revolution of 1917 proletarian universities were organized not only in Moscow and Petrograd, but also in many provincial towns. However, they were quickly closed down. Party and state leaders felt that the declared intention of the organizers of the Proletarian University to bring up a new man and train new leaders from the proletariat itself means, in fact, in the near future, that they will be replaced by a new generation of leaders – independent ones who are able to think and analyze and not only repeat slogans.
