The Great Soviet Peasant War: Bolsheviks and Peasants, 1917-1933 (Harvard Papers in Ukrainian Studies)

By Andrea Graziosi

In this reinterpretation of the Soviet Bolsheviks policies toward the peasantry in the pre-World War II period, Andrea Graziosi posits war as the most effective paradigm for understanding the struggle between the peasantry and the Soviet authorities, and shows how this struggle was one of the most important factors in the formation of Soviet rule in Russia, Ukraine, and the other republics of the USSR. His conclusions are startling and will necessitate a re-evaluation of the formative years of the Soviet Union.
