How did a regime that promised utopian-style freedom end up
delivering terror and tyranny? For some, the Bolsheviks were
totalitarian and the descent was inevitable; for others, Stalin was
responsible; for others still, this period in Russian history was a
microcosm of the Cold War. The Fate of the Bolshevik Revolution
reasons that these arguments are too simplistic. Rather, the
journey from Bolshevik liberation to totalitarianism was riddled
with unsuccessful experiments, compromises, confusion, panic,
self-interest and over-optimism. As this book reveals, the
emergence (and persistence) of the Bolshevik dictatorship was, in
fact, the complicated product of a failed democratic transition.
Drawing on long-ignored archival sources and original research,
this fascinating volume brings together an international team of
leading scholars to reconsider one of the most important and
controversial questions of 20th-century history: how to explain the
rise of the repressive Stalinist dictatorship.
