Through 30 interpretative essays, The Bloomsbury Handbook of the
Russian Revolution sees an international team of leading scholars
comprehensively examine Russia's revolutionary years. In the wake
of the 2017 centenary, this handbook is the first reference point
for anyone wishing to learn more about the changes which took place
in Russia between 1917 and 1921 and subsequently the 20th century.
Split into six sections covering political crises, politicians and
parties, social groups, identities, regions and peoples, and civil
war, the volume covers the collapse of Tsarism and the February
Revolution, the emergence of the Provisional Government, and major
historical figures such as Lenin, Kerensky and the Socialist
Revolutionary leader Viktor Chernov. It also explores the events
surrounding the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917, the
first year of Soviet Government until the Bolshevik dictatorship
was established, and the impact on Russia of the subsequent civil
war. The focus is broader than these issues of high politics,
however, since this handbook also considers events in the provinces
as well as revolutionary Petrograd, and examines the social impact
of the revolution in terms of class, gender, age and culture.
