Critical Companion to the Russian Revolution 1914-1921

Editat de Professor Edward Acton, Vladimir Cherniaev, William Rosenberg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2001
Drawing on the work of dozens of scholars from Russia, Europe, Japan, and the United States, this encyclopedic volume provides a useful overview of the early years of the Soviet Union. Among the topics covered are the collapse of the moderate Kerensky government and the rise of Bolshevik power, the sweeping militarization of Soviet society (the Red Army had 4,400,000 regulars in 1920), and the contribution of members of the Russian intelligentsia to the apparatus of the Soviet state. Students of Soviet history will find this compendium, which weighs in at nearly 800 pages, to be a valuable resource.

Recenzii

'One of the most comprehensive surveys of the new information becoming available about the Russian Revolution and of the new interpretations of the revolutionary period.'
'A landmark reference work.'
'Breaks the mold of the anti-soviet paradigm.'
'It is well edited, and the historians are well chosen...the collection as a whole provides a succinct exposition of the different interpretations of the key issues.'
'This truly impressive work is an invaluable addition to studies of the Russian Revolution, a book one hopes will find its way into all college and university libraries as well as into public libraries and personal collections.'
The three editors of this massive volume, Acton, Vladimir and William G. Rosenburg have collected here 68 entries from 46 leading historians about the Russian Revolution. While all works on this topic appearing in the past five or six years claim to use newly opened Soviet archives, the difference, claimed by Acton, is that those authors were slaves of the old historical wave resurrected in the early 1980s as the traditional Western view. This new volume breaks the mold of the anti-Soviet paradigm.
