Political Compromise

In the era of revolutionary turmoil in 1917, the Ukrainian Constituent Assembly turned out to be one of many attempts to resolve the national question in accordance with the ideals of revolutionary democracy so popular in post-February Russia. Contrary to the hopes of their organizers, the elections to the Constituent Assembly did not lead to parliamentary discussion and political compromise, giving way to other, more radical methods of struggle. The history of this institution illustrated the defeat of Russian liberal messianism, which proved its inconsistency under the conditions of the Russian Revolution and Civil War.

He was one of the leaders of the Russian revolution in its Bolshevik period, worked with V. Lenin and played a significant role in the Civil War. Rejected by the party bureaucracy L. Trotsky led uncompromising struggle against Stalinism, defending his own understanding of the revolutionary ideals. The authors try to explain these events in historical perspective, avoiding biases of both Stalinism and anticommunism.

The upheavals of the Russian revolution and Civil War had a decisive influence on the development of the Ukrainian nation. Given modern efforts to free Ukraine "from imperial layers", it is particularly useful to address real historical experience, namely that of the Bolsheviks, who implemented their own Ukrainian nation building project in 1917-1923. Generated by the party-state machine of the RSFSR, it was a cultural dimension of the “battle for Ukraine” and determined the character of Ukrainian statehood for many decades.

The presented publication includes an introductory article and campaign materials from the period of the first Russian revolution, published by the Kama and Perm social-democratic organizations. The published documents were found during the analysis of a private house in Sarapul and transferred for storage to the Udmurt Institute of history, language and literature of the Udmurt Federal Research Center UB RAS. The find includes 10 leaflets and a flying leaf published by printing, as well as handwritten notes (separate pages) with text about the actions of workers during the armed uprising against the police and army units. The leaflets are written in plain, understandable language, with a pronounced focus on target groups (urban residents, workers, soldiers, recruits, students). They contain information explaining the actions of the government and revolutionaries, call for an armed uprising, demand the convocation of the all-Russian Constituent Assembly and the boycott of elections to the State Duma, and tell about significant regional events. Leaflets of regional social-democratic organizations are an important source for studying the history of the first Russian revolution of 1905-1907.

The Revolution

This essay introduces two experimental Russian writers, Sigizmund Krzhizhanovskii (1887–1950) from the Soviet era and Vladimir Sharov (1952–2018) from the post-Soviet period, through their depictions of the Revolution and Civil War. Both attempt to ‘estrange’ this horrific period by drawing on unusual sensory input – smells, for example, or textures and densities – thus allowing the reader to bypass the brute political event in favour of its ‘feel’. The analysed texts include an olfactory history of the revolutionary years inspired by the composer Alexander Skriabin from Sharov’s 1993 novel Before & During, and a dream-sequence involving a toad in Krzhizhanovskii’s fantastic parable from 1931, ‘Bridge over the Styx’. The resulting narratives are, of course, still moral and political tales, but grounded more universally.

The Relationship

The review presents an analysis of V. V. Kondrashin’s textbook, which, on the basis of a large complex of archival and published documentary materials and scientific literature, recreated a panorama of the relationship of the Russian peasantry with the opposing power structures that appeared and functioned in Russia during the Great Russian Revolution – the Bolshevik government and its political opponents that arose during the Civil War, white and other regimes. It is noted that the author paid special attention to the conceptual views of Soviet, Russian and foreign historians, which made it possible to gain new knowledge about the practices of the behavior of peasants in various regions of Russia during social conflicts – uprisings and other protest actions and to trace their attitude to the agrarian policy of the Soviet government, as well as the governments and leaders of the white movement. Factors that influenced the choice of the Russian peasantry were identified – support for the Soviet government, which ensured its victory during the Civil War.

The Church

In the context of the events of the Russian Revolution, the author analyzes the events in Omsk on February 15–22, 1918, when the attempts of the regional Soviet authorities to implement the «Decree on the separation of church from state and school from church» led to mass riots with bloodshed in Soviet historiography called «priest’s rebellion». Sources from the two camps are published and analyzed. The church point of view is presented in the reports of the newspapers Tomsk church-social bulletin and Tobolsk eparchial vedomosti. The view of the authorities is reflected in the memoirs of a prominent Soviet figure F. M. Shemis, who was a direct participant in the described events. Comparing the information of the sources with the works of historians and the memoirs of an eyewitness, the author comes to the conclusion that a chronologically broader view of the unrest in Omsk is necessary, as well as that the anti-Bolshevik «church side» was not a passive victim, but a full subject of the conflict, which was a manifestation of the flaring fratricidal confrontation — The Civil War in Russia. The published materials are of interest to researchers of the history of the Russian Orthodox Church and the events of the Russian revolution.
