In March 1921 the sailors of Kronstadt, the naval fortress in the
Gulf of Finland, rose in revolt against the Bolshevik government,
which they themselves had helped into power. Under the slogan of
Ofree soviets," they established a revolutionary commune that
survived for sixteen days, until an army came across the ice to
crush it. After a savage struggle, the rebels were subdued. Paul
Avrich vividly describes the uprising and examines it in the
context of the development of the Soviet state. Originally
published in 1970. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
