This is a study of Petrograd in the period immediately following
the Russian Revolution. Formerly the imperial capital St.
Petersburg, in the years after 1917 Petrograd became a
revolutionary citadel. Mary McAuley's political and social history
throws into relief the interplay of factors that contributed to the
formation of the new Soviet state. Her detailed account of life in
the city provides new insights into the progress of the Russian
Revolution and the establishment, in 1921, of the Leninist
political order. Bread and Justice is based on a wide array of
original sources, including newspapers, pamphlets, posters,
memoirs, and personal interviews. It paints a multi-dimensional
picture of everyday life in post-Revolutionary Petrograd, exploring
themes such as violence and unemployment, civic justice and bread
rations, political ideas and cultural dreams. This is a book about
the people of the city - Bolshevik commissars, imperial princesses,
hungry schoolchildren, and theatre artists all make their
appearance - and about the impact of the Russian Revolution on
their lives. It is a major contribution to our understanding of the
revolutionary process and the formation of the Soviet Union.
