The Crisis in Russia (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161460490)

The Crisis In Russia is a non-fiction book written by Arthur Ransome, published in 1921. The book is a detailed account of the political and social situation in Russia during the early years of the Soviet Union. Ransome, a British journalist who had been living in Russia for several years, provides a first-hand perspective on the events that led up to the Russian Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Soviet government. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the Bolsheviks' rise to power, the civil war that followed, the economic struggles faced by the new government, and the impact of these events on ordinary Russians. Ransome also provides insight into the personalities of key figures in the revolution, such as Lenin and Trotsky, and offers his own analysis of their actions and motivations. Throughout the book, Ransome is critical of both the Bolshevik government and the Western powers that he feels have failed to support the Russian people in their time of need. He argues that the crisis in Russia is not just a Russian problem, but a global one, and that the fate of the Soviet Union will have far-reaching consequences for the rest of the world. Overall, The Crisis In Russia is an important historical document that provides a valuable perspective on one of the most significant events of the 20th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Russia or the Soviet Union, as well as those interested in the broader issues of revolution, socialism, and the struggle for political power.On December 17, 1919, the moment it became clear that there was a real possibility that the civil war was drawing to an end, Trotsky allowed the Pravda to print a memorandum of his, consisting of ""theses"" or reasoned notes about industrial conscription and the militia system. He points out that a Socialist State demands a general plan for the utilization of all the resources of a country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
