Russia Under the Bolshevik Regime

ALSO BY

Richard Pipes

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

“Monumental and detailed … a sweeping and often absorbing chronicle.… This book is clearly the product of years of research and a lifetime of reflection by one of America’s great historians; it is also a gripping read.”— Washington Post Book World

Ground-breaking in its inclusiveness, enthralling in its narrative of a movement whose purpose, in the words of Leon Trotsky, was to “overthrow the world,” this epically scaled work argues convincingly that the Russian Revolution was an intellectual, rather than a class, uprising; that it was steeped in terror from its very outset; and that it was not a revolution at all but a coup d’état—“the capture of governmental power by a small minority.”

“Mr. Pipes provides invaluable background to today’s headlines.… Few efforts have been made to create such a comprehensive work.… Pipes is a pathfinder.”— The New York Times
