The essays in this book address the process of worker alienation
and the way that the Bolsheviks appealed to, rather than exploited,
the working population, especially in the capital cities of
Petrograd and Moscow. James Bater surveys the growing demographic
and social crisis in the capitals that accompanied rapid
industrialization. Steve Smith then traces the revolution in
Petrograd, particularly in the factories where worker radicalism
often outpaced the leadership of parties of the left that came to
power after the tsar was overthrown in February. Diane Koenker
finds a similar process at work in Moscow, despite the differences
between the two cities. Finally, both Ronald Suny and William
Rosenberg demonstrate how significant these findings are for a more
accurate understanding of the Russian Revolution and ultimately of
the survival of the Bolsheviks' government.
