While a quarter century after the disintegration of the USSR, the story usually told is one of failure and inevitable collapse, Suny reevaluates the promises, missed opportunities, achievements, and colossal costs of trying to build a kind of "socialism" in the inhospitable environment of peasant Russia. He ponders what lessons 1917 provides for Marxism and the alternatives to capitalism and bourgeois democracy. 611 27 $a Revolution (Soviet Union : 1917-1921) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907572 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x Historiography. $y Revolution, 1917-1921 $x Historiography. 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x Influence. $y Revolution, 1917-1921 $x Influence. 650 7 $a Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958221 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 651 7 $a Soviet Union. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210281 648 7 $a 1917-1921 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Suny, Ronald Grigor. $t Red flag unfurled. $d Brooklyn, NY : Verso Books, 2017 $z 9781784785673 $w (DLC) 2017027209 880 4 $6 264-00 $c �2017 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210025253.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B587428C840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
