Description

Russia in Revolution: An Empire in Crisis, 1890 to 1928 By Stephen Anthony Smith The Russian Revolution of 1917 had far-reaching consequences for Russia and the world. This comprehensive history explores the transformation of the Russian empire from the late nineteenth century through the First World War and the revolutions of 1917, to the establishment of the Bolshevik regime and its impact on Russian society until the end of the 1920s. Drawing on recent archival research, this book examines how the Revolution affected different groups within Russian society, including peasants, workers, non-Russian nationalities, the army, women, young people, and the Church. It provides a nuanced understanding of the complex factors that led to the collapse of the tsarist system and the rise of the Bolsheviks. The author's analysis sheds light on key questions about the Revolution and its legacy, including why reform efforts failed, how the First World War contributed to the downfall of the monarchy, and what ultimately secured the Bolsheviks' hold on power.
