This comparative historical sociology of the Bolshevik revolutionaries offers a reinterpretation of political radicalization in the last years of the Russian Empire. Finding that two-thirds of the Bolshevik leadership were ethnic minorities - Ukrainians, Latvians, Georgians, Jews, and others - this book examines the shared experiences of assimilation and socioethnic exclusion that underlay their class universalism. It suggests that imperial policies toward the Empire's diversity radicalized class and ethnicity as intersectional experiences, creating an assimilated but excluded elite: lower-class Russians and middle-class minorities universalized particular exclusions as they disproportionately sustained the economic and political burdens of maintaining the multiethnic Russian Empire. The Bolsheviks' social identities and routes to revolutionary radicalism show especially how a class-universalist politics was appealing to those seeking secularism in response to religious tensions, a universalist politics where ethnic and geopolitical insecurities were exclusionary, and a tolerant "imperial" imaginary where Russification and illiberal repressions were most keenly felt.

A firsthand account of the Russian Revolution, from American anarchist Alexander Berkman. At first a supporter, Berkman became disillusioned by the Communists and their repressive system of party dictatorship and state capitalism.

"You find posters on all the walls, in thousands of Moscow shops, on telegraph poles, in pubs, in factories, everywhere you find posters," said a traveler of 1920. Then, the Soviet civil war poster was a call to arms, an exhortation to have anti-cholera inoculations, a celebration of May Day. A 1918 lithograph by Alexander Apsit, one of the first Soviet poster artists, depicts the bad old days and offers a representative title The Tsar, the Priest and the Rich Man on the Shoulders of the Labouring People . White ( Britain and the Bolshevik Revolution ) writes a fast-moving history of this unique confluence of art and "agitational literature," reporting on the effectiveness of individual posters, describing the people and circumstances that brought about the (relatively) famous "Rosta windows," and introducing some of the more exceptional artists, including Vladimir Mayakovsky, Dmitri S. Moor, Mikhail Cheremnykh and Victor Deni. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.

For generations in the West, Cold War animosity blocked dispassionate accounts of the Russian Revolution. This history authoritatively restores the upheaval's primary social actors—workers, soldiers, and peasants—to their rightful place at the center of the revolutionary process.

“E. H. Carr’s History of Soviet Russia holds a unique position in the vast literature on Bolshevism and Soviet Russia. No other work on this subject comparable in scope and scale exists in English or in any other language, including the Russian.” ―Times Literary Supplement In Volume I, E. H. Carr begins with an analysis of the events in Russian history from 1898 to 1917 that shaped the course of the Revolution. He examines the constitutional structure erected by the new government and then turns to the multifarious problems facing the Bolsheviks as they took possession of a rapidly disintegrating Russian empire.

A major contribution to the historiography of the world in the 20th century, The Bolsheviks in Power focuses on the fateful first year of Soviet rule in Petrograd. It examines events that profoundly shaped the Soviet political system that endured through most of the 20th century. Drawing largely from previously inaccessible Soviet archives, it demolishes standard interpretations of the origins of Soviet authoritarianism by demonstrating that the Soviet system evolved ad hoc as the Bolsheviks struggled to retain political power amid spiraling political, social, economic, and military crises. The book covers issues such as the rapid fall of influential moderate Bolsheviks, the formation of the dreaded Cheka, the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly, the Red Terror, the national government's flight to Moscow, and the subsequent rivalry between Russia's new and old capitals.

In the tumultuous years after the revolution of 1917, the traditional cutlure of Imperial Russia was both destroyed and preserved, as a new Soviet culture began to take shape. This book focuses on the interaction between the emerging political and cultural policies of the Soviet regime and the deeply held traditional values of the worker and peasant masses.

FROM BOLSHEVIK RUSSIA TO AMERICA: A MENNONITE FAMILY STORY, by HENRY D. REMPLE, Foreword by PAUL TOEWS: · Psychologist Henry D. Remple describes what happened to a group of German-speaking Mennonites, descendants of immigrants who had settled in the Ukraine, who were forced into emigration following the ravages of the First World War, the terrors of the subsequent Russian Revolution and Civil War, drought and famine. · Six families from his tiny village became part of a movement south towards the Black Sea and Turkey. Their journey took them to Batum, Georgia, an international seaport, by 1922 filled with rampant disease and thousands of hungry refugees including several hundred Mennonites. · From a family of eleven who left the village, only Henry and two sisters survived to eventually reach America, adapted to a new society, obtained education, established livelihoods and careers, and proudly raised their own families. · This personal history captures the work of the Mennonite Central Committee in the USA, which guaranteed the passage across the Atlantic and travel to individual American families willing to take in the orphaned children. · "In reading FROM BOLSHEVIK RUSSIA TO AMERICA: A MENNONITE FAMILY STORY", one is drawn to reflect on the human capacity to transcend difficult experiences, on the capacity to forge a new life in a strange and distant land, on the role of an ethno-religious community in providing for its own, and on the important role of the witness." ---Paul Toews, Mennonite Historian ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Henry D. Remple, PH.D., Diplomate in Clinical Psychology of the American Board of Professional Psychology, has retired from the Veteran Administration and from Private practice.

A detailed account of how the Bolsheviks used the elections to the tsarist Duma (the phony assembly) from candidacy to the activities of the deputies to win the workers over to the Bolsheviks. The Duma was one of the few legal places that the Bolsheviks could use to put forward their program, until all their deputies were arrested at the beginning of World War I. Badayev was one of the deputies, so this is a first-hand account. This edition includes a letter by Lenin, which included criticism of the deputies for not putting forward the Bolshevik program strongly enough.
