Soviet State and Society Between Revolutions, 1918-1929

This book analyses the relationship between the Soviet state and society from the October Revolution of 1917 to the revolution under Stalin of the late 1920s and early 1930s. Professor Lewis Siegelbaum explores the evolution of the ruling Communist Party and its New Economic Policy and the changing fortunes of industrial workers, peasants, and the scientific and cultural intelligentsia. He demonstrates how these different actors sought to appropriate the promise of the 1917 Revolution for their own purposes, the compromises they made, and explains why in the late 1920s these compromises broke down.Siegelbaum, Lewis H. is the author of 'Soviet State and Society Between Revolutions, 1918-1929' with ISBN 9780521362153 and ISBN 0521362156.
