	Workers Power Global Revolutionary History
		Andrés Nin, the leader of the POUM until his murder at the hands of Stalinist agents in Spain, was expelled from the Spanish Communist Party (PCE) in 1927.
		Worse, while Nin was critical of many of the measures proposed in the name of the Popular Front by the PCE, he made the POUM act as a "loyal opposition" inside the Popular Front, agreeing to abide by policies that were fatal for the prospects of a successful revolution.
		The fatal&Mac223;aw in the political make-up of Nin and the POUM’s leaders was that they refused to criticise the errors of the anarcho-syndicalist (CNT) and Socialist leaders and thereby failed to educate the working class vanguard in the need to break with their leaders and build a revolutionary party.

	Jesús Hernández - How the NKVD Framed the POUM
		Negrín persisted: ‘Nin is an ex-councillor of the Generalitat of Catalonia.
		Andrés Nin was a prize coveted by the GPU: an intimate and personal friend of the great leaders of the October Revolution in Russia, he had worked with them since the foundation of the Red International of Labour Unions, as one of the secretaries of that organisation.
		Andrés Nin attended the founding conference of the Red International of Labour Unions (the Comintern’s trade union movement) in 1921 as part of the delegation from the Spanish anarcho-syndicalist union federation, the CNT.

	Andres Nin
		In June 1937 Nin and most of the leadership of POUM were arrested and sent to a Soviet camp at Acala de Henares near Madrid.
		Nin was wellbuilt and healthylooking and probably looked younger than his age; he had a ready childish laugh that showed a set of solid white teeth.
		On 15 June the police had suddenly arrested Andres Nin in his office, and the same evening had raided the Hotel Falcon and arrested all the people in it, mostly militiamen on leave.

	Andy Durgan
		Nin, originally a teacher, had first entered into organised political activity in 1911 at the age of 19 as a member of a left wing Catalan nationalist group, but his concern for social issues led him to join the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) barely two years later.
		Nin was initially against an exclusive orientation towards the PCE, of which the Trotskyists considered themselves a faction, proposing instead that the OCE should also work inside the various dissident Communist groups, in particular the Workers and Peasants Bloc in Catalonia.
		Nin, in an obvious reference to his stay in the Soviet Union in the 1920s, was accused of having deserted the Spanish workers� movement in its �most difficult moments�, and of having at first sided with the PCE leadership against the Catalans.

	COSMIC BASEBALL ASSOCIATION-Anaïs Nin Plate
		Nin's sexual odyssey, recorded in detail in her diary, was also, psychologically, about avenging her feelings of abandonment by her father.
		Nin's diary and her other work provide a very intense look at a woman who has, most self-consciously, examined the inside soul of the female.
		We are proud to honor Anaïs Nin with this Honored Cosmic Player Plate for her contributions to cosmic baseball and to humanity as an enchantress of the erotic.

	SALON: Dear Diary: Deirdre Bair on the secret life of Anaïs Nin
		Nin was always so afraid of being discovered for this transgression or that transgression, that she was never able to do that.
		But she also asserted that Nin, while not quite the fiercely independent woman she presented herself to be, was still "a shining exemplar of the modernist dictum 'Make it new,' for she was prescient enough to poise herself directly in the path of all that was fresh, exciting, and frequently controversial."
		Perhaps they were surprised and suggested we were an unlikely combination, Nin and me. What made me choose her was that I was finishing the biography of Simone de Beauvoir, and I had become fascinated through reading and rereading her memoirs with the idea of how and why and what women write about themselves.

	Left Bank Review - Profile Anais Nin

		Nin lived in France for eleven years, but when her father deserted the family, her mother took Anis and her two brothers to New York City to live.

	Morbid Outlook - The Unique Anais Nin
		The Diaries of Anais Nin are a journey through an actual life which is embellished by the fantastical in such a way as to further illuminate the truth of the characters who populate these books.
		Anais Nin was a highly unconventional individual; I stress the term “individual” here, since she was not someone who was easily swayed by herd-think and convention.
		It is somewhat discouraging that, of late, certain proponents of feminism have called into question Anais’ viability as a representative of the female perspective, since she had no aversion to taking a somewhat un-feminist stance at times.

	Clean Sheets Erotica Magazine
		Nin might have preferred the term "albatross song," as the passages in this work are like the bird flying gaily off of her own dainty neck, and back to its rightful place in the sky.
		Nin was a woman enamored with beautiful ideas and beautiful people (who were in turn enamored with her).
		When Anaïs Nin finally decided to share her musings with the public, she worked like mad to get the diaries she had hidden all her life published.

	Jen's Pages : "Gender and the Erotica of Anais Nin"
		Nin asserts in "The New Woman" that "when [she] wrote the diary and when [she] wrote fiction, [she] was trying to say that we need both intimacy and a deep knowledge of a few human beings" (18).
		Nin's continuing work with the sexual and the erotic was threatening to the moral sensibilities of the men of the age who considered sexuality in women to be of concern.
		Although Nin is a lesser known author, she has gained a strong following among critics in recent years, due to her innovative approach and the fact that she was the first woman to truly write erotica from a female perspective (as opposed to merely emulating a masculine style).

	A Picture History of Kew Gardens, NY - Anaïs Nin
		Nin was friends with some of the leading literary figures of her day, including Henry Miller, Edmund Wilson, James Agee, and Lawrence Durrell.
		For most of her life, Nin was an obscure literary figure moving between Paris and Greenwich Village.
		Although a life long feminist, Nin ended up distancing herself from the more political forms of feminism, arguing that the tendency toward group thinking weakened a woman's will and inhibited the personal growth and fulfillment needed for true liberation.

	Anais Nin - Short Stories
		Nin’s first affairs began during the early years of her marriage, but Guiler mainly chose to ignore his wife’s "indiscretions." Since their marriage was based mostly on companionship and not attraction, Guiler did not resent nor bar his wife’s extramarital dalliances.
		Nin was born in France in 1903 to a Danish-French singer mother and Spanish-Cuban composer father, and throughout her youth, she travelled Europe extensively.
		Controversy always followed diarist/novelist/short-story writer Anais Nin, whether arising from questions regarding the veracity of her diaries, intimations about an incestuous relationship with her father (that reportedly took place when Nin was in her 30’s), or her high-profile love affairs with a plethora of men, including married writer Henry Miller (Tropic of Cancer).

	Katia Landau: Stalinism in Spain (Part 2) - RH
		Nin was more than an old friend to me, more a sort of brother – by his ideals, the paths he trod, the trials he underwent, and all that there could be of what cannot be expressed in the contact between one man and another.
		Andrés Nin was one of those who compel respect by the whole assemblage of their human and intellectual qualities.
		Nin had not only dared to tell the truth about the role of Stalinism in the Spanish Revolution and within the international revolutionary movement; he had committed the unpardonable crime of counterposing to Stalin in Spain a party, doubtless not very large, but growing more and more because of its ideological solidity.

	Andrés Nin Internet Archive
		Nin broke with Trotsky in 1935 to form the POUM (Workers’ Party of Marxist Unity) with Joaquin Maurin of the BOC (Workers’ and Peasants’ Bloc).
		In June 1937 Nin and most of the POUM leadership were “arrested” by Stalinist agents and Nin was executed shortly afterwards.
		During the Spanish Revolution the POUM had some influence in Catalonia and Nin joined the Generalidad, the Catalan government, as minister for justice, but after threats from the Soviet consul in Barcelona, Antonov-Ovseyenko, Nin was sacked in December 1936.

	MSN Encarta - Spanish Civil War
		Although the Marxist, anti-Soviet POUM had only a few thousands members, it had far greater influence than its size would indicate because of charismatic and renowned leaders, such as Andreu Nin.
		After two years of rule, the left coalition that led the Second Republic lost the general elections of 1933.
		However, their anarchist beliefs kept them from participating in the government.

	Durgan: Spanish Trotskyists and the POUM (Intro)
		Nin’s principal writings can be found in A. Nin, Por la unificación marxista (Madrid 1978); La revolución rusa (Barcelona 1979); and Socialisme i Nacionalisme (Barcelona 1985).
		There are two biographies of Nin, Francesc Bonamusa’s Andreu Nin y el movimiento comunista en España (Barcelona 1977), which suffers from a positivist approach and a lack of sympathy for its subject; and P. Pagès’ Andreu Nin: su evolución política (Bilbao 1975), which is more useful and sympathetic.
		His books Las dictaduras de nuestro tiempo, Los movimientos de emancipación nacional, and Las organizaciones obreras internacionales have been republished (Barcelona 1977 and 1978).

		In 1937, while the Spanish Civil War was raging, the Catalan Andreu Nin, leader of the Marxist organization, POUM, was mysteriously arrested in Republican Spain by special agents of the Spanish police.
		The result is "Operation Nikolai", a masterwork of investigative journalism discovering conclusive evidence that unravels the web of doubts and lies enveloping Andreu Nin's life and death.
		Shortly afterwards he was, even more mysteriously, kidnapped from prison and never heard from again.

		Nin was charged with complicity in another act of self-defense, the revenge slaying of prime minister Eduardo Dato.
		Nin was brutally murdered by Soviet agents, a crime for which the PCE is still remembered with bitterness by the Catalans.
