In this fast-paced introduction to the tumultuous events, the Russian people are the heroes. Faulkner shows how a mass movement of millions, organised in democratic assemblies, mobilised for militant action, destroyed a regime of landlords, profiteers and warmongers. He rejects caricatures of Lenin and the Bolsheviks as authoritarian conspirators, 'democratic-centralists' or the progenitors of Stalinist dictatorship. He argues that the Russian Revolution was an explosion of democracy and creativity - and that it was crushed by bloody counter-revolution and replaced with a monstrous form of bureaucratic state- capitalism. Laced with first-hand testimony, this history seeks to rescue the democratic essence of the revolution from its detractors and deniers, offering a perfect primer for the modern reader. 588 0 Print version record. 611 27 Revolution (Soviet Union : 1917-1921)|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01907572 648 7 1917-1921|2fast 650 7 HISTORY|zEurope|xEastern.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY|zEurope|xFormer Soviet Republics.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY|zEurope|xRussia & the Former Soviet Union. |2bisacsh 650 7 History.|2bicssc 650 7 History: specific events and topics.|2bicssc 650 7 Humanities.|2bicssc 650 7 Revolutions, uprisings, rebellions.|2bicssc 650 7 Russian Revolution.|2bicssc 651 0 Soviet Union|xHistory|yRevolution, 1917-1921. 651 7 Soviet Union.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01210281 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aFaulkner, Neil.|tPeople's history of the russian revolution.|d[Place of publication not identified] : Pluto Press, 2017|z0745399037|w(OCoLC)937452432 914 ocn969918937 994 92|bCKE
