Firstpublished in 1968, this pioneering study of revolutionary events in Petrograd in the summer of 1917 revised the established view of the Bolsheviks as a monolithic party. Rabinowitch documents how the party’s pluralistic nature had crucial implications for the outcome of the revolution in October.
