Description
The Russian Revolution: A Very Short Introduction by S. A. Smith provides an in-depth analysis of the key events and developments in Soviet Russia between 1917 and 1936. This concise narrative examines how one structure of domination was replaced by another, with a focus on the impact on society as a whole. At its core, this book explores the Russian Revolution's significance, rejecting the prevailing liberal interpretation in favour of a more nuanced understanding rooted in the contradictions of a backward society seeking modernization and enlightenment. By situating political developments within the context of massive economic, social, and cultural change, Smith offers a fresh perspective on this pivotal period in history. This book is part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, which provides expert analysis and insights into almost every subject area.
