Kronstadt, 1921

Více o knize

The 1921 revolt by sailors at Kronstadt, a naval fortress, marked a significant uprising against the Bolshevik government they had initially supported. Under the banner of "free soviets," the sailors established a revolutionary commune that lasted sixteen days before being violently suppressed by government forces. Paul Avrich provides a detailed account of the uprising, exploring its implications within the broader narrative of Soviet state development and the complexities of revolutionary ideals versus reality.
