About Ida Mett

Ida Mett (1901–1973) was a Belarusian anarcho-syndicalist, physician and writer. Following her experiences in the Russian Revolution, she fled into exile in France, where she collaborated with other exiled revolutionary anarchists on the Delo Truda magazine and the constitution of platformism. She then went on to participate in the anarcho-syndicalist movements in Belgium, Spain and France, before repression by the fascist Vichy regime forced her to cease her activities. She spent the final decades of her life working as a nurse and publishing history books. She fled first to Poland and then to Paris, where she took the pen-name "Ida Mett" and co-edited the Russian anarchist magazine Delo Truda.
