Synopsis
A classic work depicting the early months of the Russian Revolution, featuring a new introduction for the revolution s centenary. During the months following the collapse of the tsarist regime in war-torn Russia, the Bolshevik Party emerged from obscurity to overthrow the Provisional Government and establish the world s first communist government. In this absorbing narrative, Alexander Rabinowitch refutes the Soviet myth that the party s triumph in the October Revolution was inevitable. Exploring the changing situation and aspirations of workers, soldiers, and Baltic fleet sailors in Petrograd, Rabinowitch s classic account reveals the critical link between the party s revolutionary tactics and the Petrograd masses."
