The Bolsheviks in Power by Alexander Rabinowitch “The fundamental question of why the Bolsheviks were able to win is not easy to answer” Among the merits of the American historian Rabinowitch is that of restoring the 1917 insurrection to its concrete, human and political dimension, as well as recounting with a free pen the mobilizations that led the Bolsheviks to overthrow the Kerensky government.

The collapse of August 5 is the product of the fear that this prospect…
