Intelligentsia and Revolution cover

Professor Burbank recovers and analyses a large body of literature by intellectuals in the years following the Revolution, works which represent the entire political spectrum, and which are especially relevant during Gorbachev's search for alternative political and economic systems for the Soviet Union. This important research is a major contribution to understanding the complexities of the Revolution and its aftermath.

`An important and original book. Dealing with the period of the Revolution, Civil War, and the beginning of the New Economic Policy, Dr Burbank presents an admirable summary and analysis of the vast body of polemical literature inspired by the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917. It raises fundamental and provocative questions about the Russian Revolution.' Professor Paul Avrich, City University of New York
