A landmark work of radical history, Year One of the Russian Revolution chronicles the tumultuous first year of Bolshevik rule following the October Revolution of 1917. Victor Serge — himself a revolutionary participant and eyewitness — presents a vivid, authoritative account of the Soviets' desperate struggle to consolidate power against foreign intervention, civil war, and internal opposition. Translated and edited by Peter Sedgwick, the work argues passionately that the contradictions and brutalities of the early Soviet state were shaped by the overwhelming pressures of counterrevolution rather than ideological inevitability. Written with the urgency of a man who lived through the era, it remains one of the most compelling and humanistic accounts of revolutionary Russia ever committed to print.
