This concise, accessible introduction provides an analytical narrative of the
main events and developments in Soviet Russia between 1917 and 1936. It examines
the impact of the revolution on society as a whole-on different classes, ethnic
groups, the army, men and women, youth. Its central concern is to understand how
one structure of domination was replaced by another. The book registers the
primacy of politics, but situates political developments firmly in the context
of massive economic, social, and cultural change. Since the fall of Communism
there has been much reflection on the significance of the Russian Revolution.
The book rejects the currently influential, liberal interpretation of the
revolution in favor of one that sees it as rooted in the contradictions of a
backward society which sought modernization and enlightenment and ended in
political tyranny.
