Talk:Udarnik

Suggestion for merging articles
This "udarnik" article seems very similar to the "agitprop" one. I would kindly suggest mixing the two if noone has anything against it. Thanks. Maurice Carbonaro (talk) 11:35, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

"Udarnik" meaning in Croatian and Serb languages (and probably Russian)
Udarrnik = "the strikeful one".

No onther explanation is needed. I saw various incorrect translantations, so I'll just take 'em out :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AurgelmirCro (talk • contribs) 14:05, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

'Strike worker'
Surely the standard English translation of this term is 'shock worker'? 'Strike worker' suggests a worker who is on strike, or a blackleg worker who is continuing to work in defiance of strike action. There is no unambiguous direct translation of course, and 'shock worker' isn't a native English phrase. --Ef80 (talk) 18:52, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Stakhanovites
See "Politics and Society under the Bolsheviks". Stakhanovites were often beaten or murdered by other workers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.39.71.98 (talk) 09:42, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

So arent these people just party-designated scabs with a better name?
It sounds like if a new collective was striking to try and get better bargaining power the state would just send excess labor from existing collectives to force them out of work 108.192.152.217 (talk) 20:33, 6 June 2022 (UTC)


 * There weren't strikes going on in any established Stalinist regime (they were not allowed). The purpose of Udarniks was to serve as models to be emulated by other workers, and to shake things up with the goal of higher production. AnonMoos (talk) 14:36, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
