The Russian Revolution of 1917 has often been presented as a
complete break with the past, with everything which had gone before
swept away, and all aspects of politics, economy, and society
reformed and made new. Recently, however, historians have
increasingly come to question this view, discovering that Tsarist
Russia was much more entangled in the processes of modernisation,
and that the new regime contained much more continuity than has
previously been acknowledged. This book presents new research
findings on a range of different aspects of Russian society, both
showing how there was much change before 1917, and much continuity
afterwards; and also going beyond this to show that the new Soviet
regime established in the 1920s, with its vision of the New Soviet
Person, was in fact based on a complicated mixture of new Soviet
thinking and ideas developed before 1917 by a variety of
non-Bolshevik movements.
