Beskrivning

Petrograd, the imperial capital and the urban stage upon which virtually the entire Russian Revolution was enacted, in 1919 struggled through a year of civil war, hunger, social upheaval, and political and economic challenges. Based on exhaustive research in previously closed Russian archives, the book presents an in depth look at how Petrograd’s local Soviet government and Bolshevik party organizations struggled to implement the Bolshevik party program, fight domestic and foreign counterrevolutionaries, quiet labor unrest, and provide food, fuel, and education to the local population.

Taking power in a revolution is one thing, but hanging on and establishing a functioning government is quite another. In the fourth of his meticulously documented histories of the Bolshevik Party in Petrograd, doyen of US historians of the Russian Revolution Alexander Rabinowitch sets out the formidable problems and costs of revolutionary survival as democratic instincts withered in the face of economic crisis and military threat.
