Written for students of modern European and Russian history, this new study looks at how the First World War affected Russia. The theme running through the book is that war can itself be seen as revolutionary; rupturing established social and economic ties and creating new social and economic relationships, affiliations, practices and opportunities. Looking at the radical visions deployed by generals, technocrats and professionals, not just the familiar revolutionary names, it brings together the findings of Russian and non-Russian historians and draws upon fresh research.
