Revolutionary Social Democracy

A groundbreaking study that shatters longstanding assumptions about the nature and origins of the Russian Revolution

Description

Through extensive archival research in eight different languages, Revolutionary Social Democracy introduces readers to the politics and practices of socialists in Tsarist Russia's imperial borderlands. These parties fought for democracy and workers' power across the entire span of the Russian Empire—from the factories of Warsaw, to the oil fields of Baku, to the autonomous parliament of Finland.

Eric Blanc's incisive study of these parties shows that the Russian Revolution was far less Russian than is commonly assumed. The implications of this discovery challenge the long-held assumptions of historians, sociologists, and activists about the dynamics of revolutionary change under both autocratic and democratic conditions.

Revolutionary Social Democracy by Eric Blanc offers a groundbreaking analysis of the Russian Revolution by examining the entire Russian Empire, including Finland, Ukraine, and Poland. The book challenges traditional Russocentric perspectives and highlights the divergence of revolutionary processes under different regimes. Utilising extensive multilingual sources, Blanc underscores the significance of borderland socialists and re-evaluates well-known figures, questioning the uniqueness of Lenin and the Bolsheviks. This work is praised for its depth of research and contribution to understanding revolutionary practices and socialist strategies.
