Recensione

'This marvellous book, a model of the sort of regional studies that are still so badly needed in the study of the Russian revolution and Civil War. The range and depth of scholarship deployed is extraordinary in its detail, and yet the end product is written fluidly and lucidly.... Given the wealth of material assembled here, it is difficult to argue with Retish's conclusion that 'Viatka's peasants did not shy away from the changes around them [but] sought out the state and actively worked to be part of the revolution and nation' (p. 265). Revolutionary Russia

'... readers will find a great deal to applaud in Retish's interdisciplinary study ...' The Journal of Interdisciplinary History

'... should be praised for its ambitious yet carefully crafted research design, subtle formulation of the main methodological focus, and broad engagement of the latest trends in historiography. ... a book that should be credited for its comprehensive research design, a good acquaintance with mainstream methodological literature, and considerable effort invested in research in regional archives.'

Descrizione del libro

How did peasants experience and help guide Russia's war, revolution, and civil war? In this book, Aaron Retish reveals that the fateful decision by individuals to join the Revolution gave the Bolsheviks the resources and philosophical foundation on which to build the Soviet experiment and reshape international politics.
