The Socialist Revolutionary party, which had been the largest and
most popular party in Russia in 1917, did not after the October
Revolution just disappear into the "dustbin of history", as Trotsky
hoped, but - led by its leadership in exile in the 1920s and 1930s
- continued to observe and comment on developments in Russia. In
emigration, the Socialist Revolutionary (SR) party often put
forward policy proposals on a wide range of topics: policies which,
based on a shrewd understanding of the real situation in Russia,
offered realistic alternatives to the policies being pursued by the
Marxist Bolshevik regime. This book fills a gap in examining one of
the most significant Russian political parties, and is based on
extensive original analysis of SR party materials, shows how it
operated; how it formulated and disseminated its ideas; what these
ideas were, and how the party's ideas developed in response to
changing circumstances in Russia and Europe more widely. Far from
being the agrarian Slavophile romantics as they are often
portrayed, this book shows the SRs were energetic European
modernisers who contributed vigorously to the leading debates of
their day; it also shows how the SR vision of a populist, socialist
regime failed to materialise as state control, dictatorship and the
collectivisation of agriculture took hold.
