Mary McAuley: Bread and Justice. State and Society in Petrograd 1917-1922.
-Clarendon Press, 1991-
First Uk edition. xviii+461 pages with index. Illustrated. Cloth. Fine in dustjacket. This is a study of Petrograd in the period immediately following the Russian Revolution. Formerly the imperial capital St.Petersburg, in the years after 1917 Petrograd became a revolutionary citadel. The author's political and social history throws into relief the interplay of the factors that contributed to the formation of the Soviet state. Her detailed account of life in the city attempts to provide new insights into the progress of the Russian Revolution and the establishment, in 1921, of the Leninist political order. The study is based on a wide array of original sources, including newspapers, pamphlets, posters, memoirs, and personal interviews. It offers a multi-dimensional picture of everyday life in post-Revolutionary Petrograd, exploring themes such as violence and unemployment, civic justice and bread rations, political ideas and cultural dreams. This is a book about the people of the city - Bolshevik commissars, imperial princesses, hungry schoolchildren, and theatre artists all make their appearance - and about the impact of the Russian Revolution on their lives. First edition offered at original price. All items are as described and dispatched within 36 hours in a secure package.
