This book covers the whole period from 1900 to World War II but it talks in detail about the civil war and start of the NEP.

Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.
Rules for /c/communism
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
- No non-marxists
This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.
There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn't here to convert naysayers to marxism.
If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.
- No oppressive language
Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.
Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.
We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.
TERF is not a slur.
- No low quality or off-topic posts
Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.
This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.
This includes memes and circlejerking.
This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.
We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.
- No basic questions about marxism
Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.
Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.
- No sectarianism
Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.
Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.
If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.
The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.

MODERATORS
Are you one of the prolewiki editors? I'm interested to fix up some of the formatting/OCR errors from this book, but not really interested to apply for editorship. I'm doing it for myself so I can pass it through a text to speech program, but I could share my edits.
You can ask for a library account on the wiki so you don’t have to fill out all the questions for full editorship.
Oh nice! I'll go about that thanks.
You have a library account now so you can edit that page and any other library pages that need to be imported or have OCR errors.
Wow, this looks like an insanely good resource. Thank you, comrade!
There are also books in the same series for earlier Russian history. The first volume is from prehistory up to 1700 and the second is from 1700 to 1900 and covers most of the Russian Empire. Both are on ProleWiki although it also has links to the original scan if you don’t want to read the OCRed text.
Have you read Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed yet? It isn't quite what you are looking for but covers the revolution itself from a first hand account
How have I never heard of that? That sounds wonderful! Thank you!
