Anglo-Russian Committee (ARC; {{langx|ru|Англо-русский комитет единства}}) was an organization created as a body of cooperation between Soviet and British trade unions. Officially it was formed in April 1925 on the initiative of the trade unions of the USSR at the Anglo-Soviet trade union conference in London. Formally, the committee was created to "achieve unity in the international trade union movement," to fight against preparations for war and "strengthen the struggle against the offensive of capital on the working class." The organization was in conflict with the british General Council of Trade Unions: the conflict ended in September 1927, when - in connection with the rupture of diplomatic relations between Britain and the USSR - the committee was liquidated.
