- Based on intensive archival research, utilising hitherto unseen sources and untapped Russian repositories, this monograph offers a pioneering insight into the world of the early Soviet activist and the lived experience of revolution. It presents the first definitive account of the Soviet urban commune movement - a trend that saw thousands of youths requisition apartments and practise their vision of a socialist lifestyle. Willimott uses this movement as a lens through which to reassess popular engagement with the Bolshevik project. Challenging traditional viewpoints, Willimott presents Soviet ideology as something that could both frame and fire the imagination.
