- This volume is the culmination of a five-year research initiative, led equally by Badcock and her two co-editors. They established the volume’s research focus and its aim to expand understanding of the Russian Revolution through the detailed study of specific localities and multiple regional perspectives. They commissioned and closely curated a series of essays from leading international scholars. Badcock and her co-editors jointly authored an introduction (6,000 words) that aims to reconceptualize developments in Russia between 1914 and 1922 as a kaleidoscopic process whose dynamic was not solely determined in the capitals. Their intellectual oversight shaped the content of the essays that follow and ensured these drew on regional snapshots from across Russia to explore the important question of how locality affected the revolutionary experience. Badcock and her co-editors conceived the volume’s division into three key areas: grassroots politics; national revolutions; and social revolutions. They also shaped the overall volume content so that it paid attention to larger historiographic debates and highlighted several themes of the period, including a multitudinal state, the fluidity of party politics, the importance of violence as a historical agent, individual experiences, and the importance of economics and social forces. Badcock contributed her own 10,900-word chapter, which seeks to build on the themes and approaches of the volume as a whole. It uses original archival materials and newspapers in order to explore how localism and economic interests dominated rural responses to revolution, and that revolutionary seats of power were multiple, diffuse and shifting.
