Political economy of the Civil War in Russia

The civil war and intervention became a natural continuation and inextricable part of not only the Russian revolution, but also of the entire Russian history. For what, with such desperate intransigence, the war was fought, what interests and ideals defended by the opposing sides that fought “to death”? How did they solve the current and historical problems that stood in their way? After all, it was the answers to these questions that led to the victory of some and to the defeat of others.
A distinctive feature of this study is that it is built not on a historical, but on a political economic basis. The study of historical facts here is not so much a goal as it serves as a material for knowing the nature of man and society. This approach makes it possible to study and clearly demonstrate the forces and laws that move history in the turning points of its development.
This knowledge is necessary because in the past we are looking for answers about the future. The life of past generations did not pass without a trace, they left us their invaluable experience, which was obtained by the cost of huge sacrifices and cruel suffering. This publication is a deep upgrade of two author’s books combined together - “Civil War in Russia” and “Intervention”, which leads them to a new level of understanding of that era
