Description
Book SynopsisIncluding letters from individuals to newspapers, institutions or leaders, this collection gives voice to the experiences, thoughts and feelings of ordinary Russian people - workers, peasants, soldiers - as expressed in their own words during the vast upheavals of 1917.
Trade Review"Using a mixture of narrative and hitherto unpublished letters from workers, peasants and soldiers, Steinberg brings 1917 to life again... The result is utterly fascinating." Alison Rowat, Glasgow Herald; "This volume will be particularly useful as collateral reading for graduate and upper-division undergraduate students in history and Soviet studies." History: Reviews of New Books; "A wonderful achievement, a rare amalgam of excellent scholarship and original source materials." Ronald Grigor Suny, University of Chicago
