Paperback. Condition: Gut. 279 p., Good condition. -- In October 1917 Lenin seized power in backward Russia. The Revolution represented a radical break with all that had been inherited from the past, and Russia seemed to be set on the road to socialism. But it soon became clear that the Revolution had not changed the structure of Russian society overnight, and that the peasants who formed the great majority in the country remained backward and attached to the land and therefore hostile to the regime. Lenin's heirs would have to choose between maintaining the revolutionary fervour by forcing change on an as yet unready society, and more gradual natural reform to coincide with changes in social aspirations. This debate divided the Bolsheviks and formed the background to the personal struggles for power following Lenin's death. -- In this first part of a major two-volume study of the Soviet Union, Professor Carrère d'Encausse retraces the course of the Revolution from the communist ideals of Lenin through to the despotism and dictatorship of Stalin. As a foremost Soviet political scientist Professor Carrère d'Encausse is uniquely qualified to write about the development of the modern Russian state. Her book is therefore not simply a history of the Revolution and after, but is also an astute political analysis of its leaders, its problems and its achievements. Exceptionally lucid and readable, A History of the Soviet Union 1917-1953 (Volume I: Lenin, Volume II: Stalin) has been much admired in its French edition. It now appears in English for the first time and will be widely welcomed by students and teachers of Russian history, politics and political theory, and anyone seriously interested in the background to Russian Communism as we know it today.
