Russian Revolution

1917 Russian Revolution: The Kornilov putsch

Details Leon Trotsky logo 11 Sep 2017

Continuing our commemorations of the centenary anniversary of the Russian Revolution, we republish here extracts from Leon Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution, in which the author explains the events surrounding the attempted - and failed - coup by General Kornilov and the forces of reaction surrounding him.

1917 Russian Revolution: The July Days

Details Alan Woods logo 21 Jul 2017

The "July Days" of 1917 (3-7th July, or 16-20th July in the new calendar) marked a turning point in the Russian Revolution. A series of spontaneous armed demonstrations alarmed the Provisional Government leaders, who acted to repress the Bolsheviks and drive Lenin into hiding. After this point, it was a question of revolution or counter-revolution.

Review: Bruce Lockhart - "Memoirs of a British Agent"

Details Steve Roberts logo 15 May 2017

R.H. Bruce Lockhart was a British Government agent in Russia before and after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. His first-hand experiences and lucid observations, published in 1932 as a book entitled Memoirs of a British Agent, provide a fascinating account of the Russian Revolution and its key characters.

'The Last of the Tsars': another dull, anti-Bolshevik smear

Details Ben Gliniecki logo 04 May 2017

On the centenary of the Russian Revolution, for those interested in understanding the causes, events and consequences of October 1917, there are dozens of books and articles to get stuck into. The Last of the Tsars: Nicholas II and the Russian Revolution by Robert Service, according to Ben Gliniecki, is not one of them.

April 1917: Lenin and the Bolsheviks - preparing for power

Details Leon Trotsky and V.I. Lenin logo 18 Apr 2017

On 16th April 1917, Lenin returned to Russia in the midst of the Revolution. Lenin's return marked a turning point for the Bolshevik Party - the beginning of a process of politically preparing the party for the seizure of power by the working class. We republish here an extract from Leon Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution about the political rearming of the Bolsheviks.
