The Russian Revolution may be the most misunderstood and misrepresented event in modern history, its history told in a mix of legends and anecdotes. In A People's History of the Russian Revolution, Neil Faulkner sets out to debunk the myths and pry fact from fiction, putting at the heart of the story the Russian people who are the true heroes of this tumultuous tale.

Clears the distortions to tell the real story
Revisado: 04-03-22
Faulkner's revealing narrative brings to life the popular insurrection that lifted the Bolsheviks, and their left Social Revolutionary allies, to power in October 1917. It completely dismantles the oft-repeated line, so often intoned by liberal and right-wing historians, that the Revolution was a military coup by a clique of fanatics. I always wondered how such a small group, presumably in defiance of the popular will, could (1) seize power so easily throughout Russia, and (2) successfully defend that power in a devastated country against well-equipped White armies funded and assisted by several Great Powers on more than a dozen fronts. Faulkner shows that by delivering on their promises of Peace, Bread, and Land, the Bolsheviks won the support of not just the workers, but the broad peasant masses that were already in full revolt in the countryside. On this foundation, the Red Army's ultimate triumph finally makes sense.
