Debunking the Myths that Shroud The Russian Revolution
A conversation with archaeologist and Marxist historian Neil Faulkner about the Russian Revolution. He is the author of the book A People\u2019s History of the Russian Revolution.\nAbout the Book\nFaulkner debunks the myths that continues to shroud the Russian revolution, showing how a mass movement of millions, organized in democratic assemblies, mobilized for militant action and destroyed a regime of landlords, profiteers and warmongers, and rejecting caricatures notions of Lenin and the Bolsheviks as authoritarian conspirators, \u2018democratic-centralists\u2019 or the progenitors of Stalinist dictatorship. Though short-lived, the Revolution of October 1917 was an explosion of democracy and creativity. Crushed by bloody counter-revolution, its socialist vision was ultimately displaced by a monstrous form of bureaucratic state-capitalism.\n\nSupport KPFA!
