Bolshevik culture: Experiment and order in the Russian Revolution (A Special study of the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, the Wilson Center)

In the tumultuous years after the revolution of 1917, the traditional cutlure of Imperial Russia was both destroyed and preserved, as a new Soviet culture began to take shape. This book focuses on the interaction between the emerging political and cultural policies of the Soviet regime and the deeply held traditional values of the worker and peasant masses.
