A frightening rise in crime, especially violent crime, threatened the daily life of ordinary citizens. They often took the law into their own hands, and frequently resorted to mob justice, a reflection of the breakdown of the social fabric as well as the psychological state of people uneasy about or threatened by the changes going on around them. Crime and Punishment in the Russian Revolution examines how the new police power created under the Provisional Government broke down, the nature of the crimes threatening the city, and how people reacted. It then explores how violent crime continued to rise under the Bolshevik regime, and what the Bolsheviks did to control upheaval in the streets. The result is a new way of looking at the nature of Bolshevik power after the October Revolution. The violent explosion of drunken pogroms in November and December 1917 greatly shocked the Bolshevik leadership. Unlike previous works that treat them as a minor episode, this book considers the drunken pogroms the crucial turning point of the Bolsheviks' policy on the maintenance of law and order. The Bolshevik leadership reconstituted the police as a strongly centralized force with power over the local forces and militias, establishing a top-down pattern of control that would continue, even intensify, when the capital was moved to Moscow"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Prelude to revolution -- Crime on the rise -- Why did the crime rate shoot up? -- Militias rise and fall -- An epidemic of mob justice -- Crime after the Bolshevik takeover -- The Bolsheviks and the militia -- Conclusion. 611 27 $a Revolution (Saint Petersburg, Russia : 1917-1921) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907567 650 0 $a Crime $z Saint Petersburg $z Saint Petersburg $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Law enforcement $z Saint Petersburg $z Saint Petersburg $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Police $z Saint Petersburg $z Saint Petersburg $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Saint Petersburg (Russia) $x History $y Revolution, 1917-1921. 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x History $y Revolution, 1917-1921. 650 7 $a Crime. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00882984 650 7 $a Law enforcement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993931 650 7 $a Police. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068398 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01262050 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $z Saint Petersburg. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01212867 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214023237.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210025840.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CDF0A9A2E55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
