Now, following the collapse of the Soviet regime and the opening of its archives, it is possible to step back and see the full picture of this event for the first time. This volume tells the gripping story of a Marxist revolution that was intended to transform the world, but instead visited enormous suffering on the Russian people, and, like the French Revolution before it, ended up devouring its own children. The author offers insightful descriptions of the February and October Revolutions of 1917, the Civil War, the interlude of NEP, Stalin's "revolution from above," the various Five Year Plans, and the Great Purges, all treated as discrete episodes in a twenty year process of revolution. The book incorporates data from archives that were previously inaccessible not only to Western but also to Soviet historians, as well as drawing on important recent Russian publications such as the memoirs of one of the great survivors of Soviet politics, Vyacheslav Molotov. In the bibliography, the author, an internationally known expert on Soviet history, highlights the most important of the recent scholarly works, directing readers to the burgeoning Western scholarship on the Russian Revolution in the last ten to fifteen years. This third edition uses newly available Soviet archival material and the latest Russian and Western research to provide an authoritative, compact account of one of the key events of modern history. 000453844 651_0 $$aSoviet Union$$xHistory$$yRevolution, 1917-1921. 000453844 85200 $$bgen$$hDK265$$i.F48$$i2008 000453844 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0907/2007044008-b.html 000453844 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0907/2007044008-d.html 000453844 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0907/2007044008-t.html 000453844 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:453844$$pGLOBAL_SET 000453844 980__ $$aBIB 000453844 980__ $$aBOOK
