A landmark work in the study of Russian political history, The Rise of Social Democracy in Russia chronicles the turbulent emergence and development of the Social Democratic movement in Imperial Russia from the 1890s through the revolutionary upheavals of the early twentieth century. J.L.H. Keep presents a rigorous and authoritative account of how Marxist ideology took root among Russian intellectuals, workers, and revolutionaries, ultimately fracturing into the Bolshevik and Menshevik factions that would reshape the nation's destiny. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, the work details the fierce ideological battles, underground organisational struggles, and the towering personalities — from Lenin to Martov — who defined the movement's trajectory. Written in a scholarly yet accessible tone, it remains an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to understand the ideological foundations that gave rise to one of the twentieth century's most consequential revolutions.
