Synopsis Revolutionary Dreams by : Richard Stites
The revolutionary ideals of equality, communal living, proletarian morality, and technology worship, rooted in Russian utopianism, generated a range of social experiments which found expression, in the first decade of the Russian revolution, in festival, symbol, science fiction, city planning, and the arts. In this study, historian Richard Stites offers a vivid portrayal of revolutionary life and the cultural factors--myth, ritual, cult, and symbol--that sustained it, and describes the principal forms of utopian thinking and experimental impulse. Analyzing the inevitable clash between the authoritarian elements in the Bolshevik's vision and the libertarian behavior and aspirations of large segments of the population, Stites interprets the pathos of utopian fantasy as the key to the emotional force of the Bolshevik revolution which gave way in the early 1930s to bureaucratic state centralism and a theology of Stalinism.

Synopsis In the Wake of Empire by : Anatol Shmelev
Even as a country ceases to be a great power, the concept of it as a great power can continue to influence decision making and policy formulation. This book explores how such a process took place in Russia from 1917 through 1920, when the Bolshevik coup of November 1917 led to the creation of two regimes: the Bolshevik "Reds" and the anti-Bolshevik "Whites." As Reds consolidated their one-party dictatorship and nursed global ambitions, Whites struggled to achieve a different vision for the future of Russia. Anatol Shmelev illuminates the White campaign with fresh purpose and through information from the Hoover Institution Archives, exploring how diverse White factions overcame internal tensions to lobby for recognition on the world stage, only to fail—in part because of the West's desire to leave "the Russian question" to Russians alone. In the Wake of Empire examines the personalities, institutions, political culture, and geostrategic concerns that shaped the foreign policy of the anti-Bolshevik governments and attempts to define the White movement through them. Additionally, Shmelev provides a fascinating psychological study of the factors that ultimately doomed the White effort: an irrational and ill-placed faith in the desire of the Allies to help them, and wishful thinking with regard to their own prospects that obscured the reality around them.

Synopsis New Myth, New World by : Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal
The Nazis' use and misuse of Nietzsche is well known. In this pioneering book, Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal excavates the trail of long-obscured Nietzschean ideas that took root in late Imperial Russia, intertwining with other elements in the culture to become a vital ingredient of Bolshevism and Stalinism.

Synopsis The Bolsheviki and World Peace by : Leon Trotsky
This book expresses the ideas and views of Leon Trotsky which lighted him on the course of his policy toward the War, Peace, and the Revolution. The book throws light, therefore, on that policy. The spirit that flames and casts shadows upon this book are not only Trotzky's. It is the spirit also of the Bolsheviki; of the red left wing of the revolutionary movement of New Russia. It flashed from Petrograd to Vladivostok, in the first week of the revolt; it burned all along the Russian Front before Trotzky appeared on the scene.

Synopsis Myth of the Nation and Vision of Revolution by : Jacob L. Talmon
In what may well rank as the finest political and intellectual history of the twentieth century, the late J. L. Talmon explores the origins of the schism within European society between the totalitarians of Right and Left as well as the split between an acceptance of the historical national community as the natural political and social framework and the vision of a socialist society achieved by a universal revolutionary breakthrough. This, the third and final volume of Talmon's history of the modern world, brings to bear the resources of his incisive scholarship to examine the workings of the ironies of totalitarianism as well as the resources of democracy.

Synopsis Bolshevik Festivals, 1917-1920 by : James Von Geldern
In the early years of the USSR, socialist festivals--events entailing enormous expense and the deployment of thousands of people--were inaugurated by the Bolsheviks. Avant-garde canvases decorated the streets, workers marched, and elaborate mass spectacles were staged. Why, with a civil war raging and an economy in ruins, did the regime sponsor such spectacles? In this first comprehensive investigation of the way festivals helped build a new political culture, James von Geldern examines the mass spectacles that captured the Bolsheviks' historical vision. Spectacle directors borrowed from a tradition that included tsarist pomp, avant-garde theater, and popular celebrations. They transformed the ideology of revolution into a mythologized sequence of events that provided new foundations for the Bolsheviks' claim to power.

Synopsis Soviet Communism and the Socialist Vision by : Julius Jacobson
Perhaps the sharpest and most useful criticism of Soviet communism has come from Left socialist sources. The essays in this collection are unified by an abiding faith in the value of social change and political revolution, as well as a shared belief that the Soviet Union has fallen drastically short of its own promissory notes delivered by the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. This volume, the first in a series published under the direction of New Politics magazine, takes up the intimacies of Soviet society--its legal practices, its party organization, its economic planning techniques--with a devastating forthrightness that is not to be found in any other single source. The writings draw heavily from scholarly sources in Europe that provide perspectives toward Soviet society uncluttered by the usual ideological gambits found in many books published in this- country, and unbiased by a reliance on purely secondary sources. For all who areinterested in the Soviet communist regime yesterday, today and tomorrow, this bookwill be crucial.
