Sheila Fitzpatrick examines the Russian Revolution in its broadest sense, from the upheavals of 1917 through the Civil War and New Economic Policy to Stalin’s consolidation of power and the social transformation of the early Soviet Union.

Written as an accessible historical introduction, the book considers how Bolshevik rule altered political institutions, class structures and everyday life, while also addressing the tensions between revolutionary ideals and the realities of Soviet power.
