Summary

For five years following the Bolshevik victory in 1917, the Russian revolution inspired a brilliant outburst of theory and criticism among Russian intellectuals struggling to comprehend their country's vast social upheaval. This compelling study recovers these early responses to victory and analyzes the specific ideological context out of which they emerged.

Intelligentsia and Revolution by Jane Burbank

Professor Burbank recovers and analyses a large body of literature by intellectuals in the years following the Revolution, works which represent the entire political spectrum, and which are especially relevant during Gorbachev's search for alternative political and economic systems for the Soviet Union. This important research is a major contribution to understanding the complexities of the Revolution and its aftermath.
`An important and original bookDealing with the period of the Revolution, Civil War, and the beginning of the New Economic Policy, Dr Burbank presents an admirable summary and analysis of the vast body of polemical literature inspired by the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917. It raises fundamental and provocative questions about the Russian Revolution.' Professor Paul Avrich, City University of New York
