This comparative historical sociology of the Bolshevik
revolutionaries offers a reinterpretation of political
radicalization in the last years of the Russian Empire. Finding
that two-thirds of the Bolshevik leadership were ethnic minorities
- Ukrainians, Latvians, Georgians, Jews and others - this book
examines the shared experiences of assimilation and socioethnic
exclusion that underlay their class universalism. It suggests that
imperial policies toward the Empire's diversity radicalized class
and ethnicity as intersectional experiences, creating an
assimilated but excluded elite: lower-class Russians and
middle-class minorities universalized particular exclusions as they
disproportionately sustained the economic and political burdens of
maintaining the multiethnic Russian Empire. The Bolsheviks' social
identities and routes to revolutionary radicalism show especially
how a class-universalist politics was appealing to those seeking
secularism in response to religious tensions, a universalist
politics where ethnic and geopolitical insecurities were
exclusionary, and a tolerant 'imperial' imaginary where
Russification and illiberal repressions were most keenly felt.
