Factory Committee
Factory committees (Russian: zavodskoy komitet, zavkom, заводской комитет, завком), fabrichny komitet, fabkom, фабричный комитет, фабком) were workers' councils representing factory workers in the history of Russia and Soviet Union that accomplished workers' control in various forms. (In Russian language, the terms "zavod" & "fabrika" for factory are not synonymous: "zavod" is reserved for heavy industry and "fabrika" for the rest). Two basic meanings are to be distinguished.
