The Crisis In Russia

""The Crisis in Russia"" is a non-fiction book written by Arthur Ransome, originally published in 1921. The book provides a detailed account of the political and social situation in Russia during the early years of the Soviet regime, following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. Ransome, who was a British journalist and a supporter of the Bolshevik cause, offers an insider's perspective on the events that led to the establishment of the Soviet Union, as well as the challenges faced by the new government in the aftermath of the revolution. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the role of the Bolsheviks in the revolution, the civil war that followed, the nationalization of industry and agriculture, the establishment of the Red Army, and the impact of the revolution on the Russian people. Ransome's writing style is engaging and accessible, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Russia and the Soviet Union.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.
