Description:
Why and how did the October 1917 revolution occur in Russia? Often overlooked as a crucial factor in the Bolsheviks' victory was the role of the peasantry. Here is an enthralling portrait of this poor but sizable population on the eve of the uprising; of the breakdown of state power in the countryside; and, most important, of the relationship between the serfs and the Bolsheviks during the civil war. An enlightening approach, illustrated with disturbing contemporary images.

Text is clean and unmarked in tight and square covers. Very slight shelf wear with a small scuff on the fore edge of the text block Volume appears unread. Photo section included. From the back cover, "Emphasizing that any military victory in a civil war will be short-lived unless it is backed by political power, Orlando Figes provides a detailed description of the Russian peasantry on the eve of the Revolution; describes the breakdown of state power in the countryside; examines the system of peasant rule and the reluctance of the peasants to rise against the Soviet regime and, crucially, the relationship between the peasants and the Bolsheviks during the civil war."
