More than seventy years since the Bolsheviks came to power,
there is still no comprehensive study of workers' activism in
history's first successful workers' revolution. Strikes and
Revolution in Russia, 1917 is the first effort in any language to
explore this issue in both quantitative and qualitative terms and
to relate strikes to the broader processes of Russia's
revolutionary transformation. Diane Koenker and William Rosenberg
not only provide a new basis for understanding essential elements
of Russia's social and political history in this critical period
but also make a strong contribution to the literature on European
labor movements. Using statistical techniques, but without letting
methodology dominate their discussion, the authors examine such
major problems as the mobilization of labor and management, factory
relations, perceptions, the formation of social identities, and the
relationship between labor protest and politics in 1917. They
challenge common assumptions by showing that much strike activity
in 1917 can be understood as routine, but they are also able to
demonstrate how the character of strikes began to change and
why.
