She examines the class struggle that was an important part of the revolution as well as the leadership that lead the Russian citizens through these tumuloous decades and she also examines the modernization that Russia experienced. Fitzpatrick breaks her book down in a chronological order in which she spends her introduction writing about the immediate events that happened prior to the outbreak of the revolution so that the reader, whether an undergraduate student, graduate student or just a fan of Russian history, can gain a true understanding of the air of change that was happening in…

Beginning with the Decembrist Uprising and heightening a the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia has experienced a long legacy of brutal and heinous operations and methods to deal with counterrevolutionary opposition, and even mere suspicion. Both Lenin and Stalin feared any source of counter authority, and exhibited this fear by employing the secret police agencies to destroy and suppress the opposition, no matter how brutally. These brutal methods, wether successful or not, certainly inspired fear in Russian citizens, and the secret police adopted a persona as a weapon of the state. Although the KGB and its counterparts started off as brutal, yet fairly disorganized and vague institutions,…

    In the introduction of R.R. Palmer’s The Age of the Democratic Revolution: A Political History of Europe and America, 1760-1800, he outlines the movements that changed the structures within Western Civilization, which he defines as being the United States, England, France, and several other European countries. Palmer not only fails to examine over half of the nations in the western world that he discusses, but in doing so he also implies that the uprisings in these countries do not fit into his picture of the age of revolutions.

    This is further backed up by the fact that in Petrograd in 1918, 1 in 4 adults was a state official. Unlike the Red Army in which Trotsky used experienced former Tsarist officers to command it effectively, nothing like this was carried out in industry which caused an ineffective workforce and therefore a drop in production. In addition War Communism had an adverse effect on Russia’s economy. For example it caused the rouble, by 1920, to devalue too just 1% of its pre 1917 value because the government just kept on printing more and more money in order to solve its problems.
