Abstract
  • When the Bolsheviks came to power in Russia in 1917, party leaders under-stood well that a thorough social transformation lay between them and the full realization of long-term revolutionary objectives. The seizure of political authority and even a proposed redistribution of economic goods and services would not themselves create citizens of a new type, nor would they spontaneously recast the quality of Russian life. Yet party behavior on the road to revolution had done little to communicate any precise plan for reshaping society. On the contrary, Bolshevik political militancy, tactical brashness, glib sloganeering, and the lack of a well-defined, comprehensive program all understandably caused contemporaries to question not only the politics of the party but also its grasp of the complexities of social reform.
