Note publique d'information : Through 30 interpretative essays, The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Russian Revolution
sees an international team of leading scholars comprehensively examine Russia's revolutionary
years. In the wake of the 2017 centenary, this handbook is the first reference point
for anyone wishing to learn more about the changes which took place in Russia between
1917 and 1921 and subsequently the 20th century. Split into six sections covering
political crises, politicians and parties, social groups, identities, regions and
peoples, and civil war, the volume covers the collapse of Tsarism and the February
Revolution, the emergence of the Provisional Government, and major historical figures
such as Lenin, Kerensky and the Socialist Revolutionary leader Viktor Chernov. It
also explores the events surrounding the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917,
the first year of Soviet Government until the Bolshevik dictatorship was established,
and the impact on Russia of the subsequent civil war. The focus is broader than these
issues of high politics, however, since this handbook also considers events in the
provinces as well as revolutionary Petrograd, and examines the social impact of the
revolution in terms of class, gender, age and culture.
