About this product
Product Information
Because they were Marxists, the Bolsheviks in Russia, both before and after taking power in 1917, believed that the past was prologue: that embedded in history was a Holy Grail, a series of mysterious, but nonetheless accessible and comprehensible, universal laws that explained the course of history from beginning to end. Those who understood these laws would be able to mould the future to conform to their own expectations. But what should the Bolsheviks do if their Marxist ideology proved to be either erroneous or insufficient-if it could not explain, or explain fully, the course of events that followed the revolution they carried out in the country they called the Soviet Union? Something else would have to perform this function. The underlying argument of this volume is that the Bolsheviks saw the revolutions in France in 1789, 1830, 1848, and 1871 as supplying practically everything Marxism lacked. In fact, these four events comprised what for the Bolsheviks was a genuine Revolutionary Tradition. The English Revolution and the Puritan Commonwealth of the seventeenth century were not without utility-the Bolsheviks cited them and occasionally utilized them as propaganda-but these paled in comparison to what the revolutions in France offered a century later, namely legitimacy, inspiration, guidance in constructing socialism and communism, and, not least, useful fodder for political and personal polemics.

Reviews
Bergman has produced a fine piece of intellectual history that sheds new light on the Bolsheviks and the Soviet regime over which they presided., "... the book is a goldmine of detail about a formative influence on the Bolshevik leadership" -- Jonathan Daly "This is a very impressive book on a fascinating topic that has not up to now been treated in anything like the depth and complexity to be found here." -- Jonathan Beecher, the Journal of Modern History "Bergman's book is scholarly, thoroughly enjoyable, and thought -- provoking. It is hard to disagree with his general conclusion that the Bolsheviks were constantly forced to improvise, and "their improvisations depended for their plausibility on their finding precedents in the modern history of France" (p. 493)." -- Geoffrey Swain, The Russian Review "Bergman's book is an impressive work embodying an enormous amount of research. It must be the most comprehensive study of the subject to date, and much can be learned from it." -- James D. White, European History Quarterly "...this is an excellent, exhaustively researched book, an encyclopaedic examination of the topic, and an important contribution to our understanding of Bolshevik thought. It will be of considerable value to anyone interested in the fate of the Russian or French revolutions." -- James Ryan, English Historical Review "...the reviewed book on the role of the French Revolution in Russian intellectual discourse is important, not just because it elucidates the important aspects of Russian intellectual history, but because it is a perfect snapshot of the time when the West, in all its manifestations, including its historical imagination, ruled supreme in Russia's - and not only Russia's, of course - intellectual life." -- Dmitry Shlapentokh, Indiana University South Bend, H/Soz/Kult "Bergman has produced a fine piece of intellectual history that sheds new light on the Bolsheviks and the Soviet regime over which they presided." -- Gavin Murray-Miller, Revolutionary Russia, "This excellent monograph examines the protracted musings by successive generations of Russia's radical intellectuals on the changing applicability to Russian conditions of mythologies and counter-mythologies in an emergent French Revolutionary Tradition. It illustrates the potency of historical myth-making, as individual events from the past were distilled into emblems of transcendent historical significance." -- Frederick Corney, Professor of History, Department of History, College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, USA, International Affairs "There is much to learn from Bergman's exposition that will be usefully consulted by a range of specialists" -- Ian D. Thatcher, Slavonic and East European Review "This is a very impressive book on a fascinating topic that has not up to now been treated in anything like the depth and complexity to be found here... One comes away from this fine book with great admiration for the skill with which Jay Bergman has untangled the intellectual gymnastics through which Russian and Soviet thinkers charted their own past, pressent, and future by drawing on French analogies." -- Jonathan Beecher, The Journal of Modern History "... the book is a goldmine of detail about a formative influence on the Bolshevik leadership" -- Jonathan Daly, the Slavic Review "This is a very impressive book on a fascinating topic that has not up to now been treated in anything like the depth and complexity to be found here." -- Jonathan Beecher, the Journal of Modern History "Bergman's book is scholarly, thoroughly enjoyable, and thought -- provoking.

Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
