{"product_id":"rank-and-file-bolshevik-cecilia-bobrovskaya-9789380118574","title":"Rank-And-File Bolshevik: A Memoir","description":"In 1921, Vladimir Lenin wrote a letter to a comrade, asking him to ensure that Cecilia Bobrovskaya (1873-1960) be provided with housing. 'I have known Bobrovskaya since the epoch before 1905, ' Lenin wrote, 'and know that she is capable of living in great hardship and be reticent about it excessively.' Bobrovskaya was a member of the Society of Old Bolsheviks, a revolutionary from her youth. She was one of the thousands of committed radicals who helped build the organisations of the working-class across Russia in the decades before the Russian Revolution of 1917. In this book, Bobrovskaya tells her story of material deprivation and spiritual elevation. A dedicated Bolshevik, she worked hard to build her party and to raise the confidence of Russia's working-class and peasantry. She worked quietly and tirelessly, helping build the momentum towards both the 1905 and the 1917 Revolutions. This book reproduces two texts by Bobrovskaya: her own memoirs and her short biography of Lenin. Bobrovskaya describes what it took to make the Revolution - not one push in 1917 but tens of thousands of pushes produced by people like herself, one of the many rank-and-file Bolsheviks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cecilia Bobrovskaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9380118570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789380118574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leftword Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Cecilia Bobrovskaya","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983304130815,"sku":"9789380118574","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_771fdb7d-b3de-4fab-9ac2-3ac79b9a14c0.jpg?v=1683265845","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rank-and-file-bolshevik-cecilia-bobrovskaya-9789380118574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
