This book was first published in 2008. How did peasants experience
and help guide Russia's war, revolution, and civil war? Why in the
end did most agree to live as part of the Bolshevik regime? Taking
the First World War to the end of the Civil War as a unified era of
revolution, this book shows how peasant society and peasants'
conceptions of themselves as citizens in the nation evolved in a
period of total war, mass revolutionary politics, and civil
breakdown. Aaron Retish reveals that the fateful decision by
individuals to join the Revolution or to accommodate their
lifestyle within it gave the Bolsheviks the resources and
philosophical foundation on which to build the Soviet experiment
and reshape international politics. He argues that peasants wanted
more than land from the Revolution; they wanted to be active
citizens. This is an important contribution to our understanding of
the nature of the Russian Revolution and peasant-state relations.
