A landmark work in Russian political history, Russia Goes to the Polls presents a meticulous analysis of the 1917 elections to the All-Russian Constituent Assembly — the only free, general election held in Russian history. Oliver H. Radkey chronicles the dramatic political landscape of post-revolutionary Russia, detailing how millions of citizens cast their votes amid the chaos of war, revolution, and social upheaval. Drawing on exhaustive electoral data, the work argues that the results revealed a nation deeply divided along regional, ethnic, and ideological lines, with the Socialist Revolutionaries commanding a plurality over the Bolsheviks. With a foreword by renowned historian Sheila Fitzpatrick, this authoritative study remains an indispensable reference for understanding the brief and ill-fated democratic moment that preceded Bolshevik consolidation of power.
