This is the first non-Soviet history of the Volga countryside during the Russian revolution and civil war of 1917-1921. The product of extensive research in numerous Soviet archives, it reconstructs the revolutionary experience of the peasantry--eighty percent of the Russian population--in the crucial Volga region, situated immediately behind the military fronts. The civil war, it is argued, left a profound mark on the peasant economy and peasant-state relations which influenced the entire development of the Soviet regime.
