Description

As related in The Agrarian Foes of Bolshevism, to which this book is the sequel, the Socialist Revolutionary movement had, by the fall of 1917, disintegrated into three warring factions-right, center, and left-not one of which has received its due in history. Their role in the revolution as well as their essential character has been misinterpreted, willfully distorted, or simply ignored, and the stereotype of error, once created, has been endlessly copied by un- critical writers, either from the source or from one another. The Bolsheviks are only partially to blame for this situation. In part the SR’s themselves are responsible, since in the heat of factional strife they did not hesitate to malign one another. As for the rest, the fault lies in the way in which history is written, or, rather, with those who write it.
