This is the first book to analyse the relationship between the
Soviet state and society from the October Revolution of 1917 to the
revolution under Stalin of the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Professor Lewis Siegelbaum examines the ways in which the promise
of a new society made by the 1917 Revolution informed the thinking
of those who had experienced the order which preceded it. But how
did that old order limit possibilities? How did the new Party
leaders, worker activists, artists, and scientists know what to
abolish, what to retain, and what to transform? The author explores
these questions by tracing the evolution of the ruling Communist
Party and its New Economic Policy and the changing fortunes of
industrial workers, peasants, and the scientific and cultural
intelligentsia. He demonstrates how these different actors sought
to appropriate the promise of the 1917 Revolution for their own
purposes, highlights the compromises they made, and explains why in
the late 1920s these compromises had started to break down.
