This book explores the role played by families in the Russian
revolutionary movement and the first decades of the Soviet regime.
While revolutionaries were expected to sever all family ties or at
the very least put political concerns before personal ones, in
practice this was rarely achieved. In the underground,
revolutionaries of all stripes, from populists to social-democrats,
relied on siblings, spouses, children and parents to help them
conduct party tasks, with the appearance of domesticity regularly
thwarting police interference. Family networks were also vital when
the worst happened and revolutionaries were imprisoned or exiled.
After the revolution, these family networks continued to function
in the building of the new Soviet regime and amongst the socialist
opponents who tried to resist the Bolsheviks. As the Party
persecuted its socialist enemies and eventually turned on threats
perceived within its ranks, it deliberately included the spouses
and relatives of its opponents in an attempt to destroy family
networks for good.
