Prelude To Revolution by Alexander Rabinowitch
The Petrograd Bolsheviks and the July 1917 Uprising
A scholarly account of the July 1917 upheaval in Petrograd, tracing how tensions among workers, soldiers, and sailors intersected with the revolutionary party’s evolving strategy, internal disagreements, and imperfect command over its base to produce a volatile, premature confrontation with the Provisional Government. Drawing on extensive archival research, it disentangles the roles of spontaneity and organization, reveals factional debates over tactics and timing, and situates the episode within the broader collapse of wartime authority, ultimately showing how lessons from the failed uprising shaped the movement’s approach to power later that year.
