At the end of the Second World War, anarchism suffered a massive decline. Some great personalities such as Bertrand Russel or Albert Camus nevertheless continued to defend and promote its ideal. And little by little, in the heart of the Cold War, they were joined by many socialists or communists whose eyes were opened to the reality of Soviet socialism after the Prague Spring. Like Murray Bookchin, more and more revolutionaries turned to anarchism in the late 1950s and helped revive it. Thanks to them, formal or informal organizations - such as the San Francisco Diggers - emerged; new symbols, such as the circled A invented in 1964 by the Jeunes Libertaires group in Paris; new mass movements that challenged Stalinism and capitalism and tried to change the world.
