This study of Soviet politics and society under the New Economic
Policy is the first to relate local problems directly to changing
central ideological views during the crucial early years of the
Soviet State. Roger Pethybridge makes an intensive examination of
five Russian and minority localities in 1922, when the NEP was at
its early stages, and again at its height in 1926. These detailed
studies demonstrate that under the early NEP there were effectively
two capitals - Moscow for politics, and Petrograd for culture, and
their roles are examined in depth, as Professor Pethybridge
analyses the workings of Bolshevik control mechanisms, and means of
communication between centre and periphery in this period. One Step
Backwards, Two Steps Forward throws new light on the roles of
socio-political agents, and potential enemies in Russia's vast
hinterland. Professor Pethybridge argues that the well-known threat
to the regime from the kulaks was less menacing than that from the
Nepmen and the artisans. This carefully researched and provocative
account of the formative years of the USSR will be invaluable to
all scholars of Soviet history and government.
