Drawing on newly available Russian sources--many of which appear in English for the first time here--this volume covers a broad array of topics; including the Bolshevik rise to power and World War I as the catalyst and cradle; respectively; of the Revolution. The authors convey the boldness and diversity of the revolutionaries' aspirations as well as the ways in which the Revolution affected the lives of ordinary people; from the workers of Petrograd to Siberian peasants and Ukrainian Jews.Maps; illustrations; and a glossary of terms are included; as are a chronology of the Revolution; a list of works cited; and a thorough index.
