Professor Avrich records the history of the anarchist movement from
its Russian origins in the 19th century, with a full discussion of
Bakunin and Kropotkin, to its upsurge in the 1905 and 1917 Social
Democratic Revolutions, and its decline and fall after the
Bolshevik Revolution. While analyzing the role of the anarchists in
these fateful years, he traces the close relationships between the
anarchists and the Bolsheviks and shows that the Revolutions were
conceived in spontaneity and idealism and ended in cynical
repression. The Russian anarchists saw clearly the consequences of
a Marxist "dictatorship of the proletariat" and, though they had no
single cohesive organization, repeatedly warned that the Bolsheviks
aimed to replace the tyranny of the tsars with a tyranny of
commissars. Originally published in 1967. 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.
