    This chapter argues that familial support was vital when a party agent was imprisoned, not least because only relations or spouses had official rights in relation to a prisoner’s welfare. Family members could appeal for a prisoner’s release or for a reduction of his or her sentence and had the right to visit the prisoner. Such visits provided the prisoner with emotional and material support, but also helped maintain his or her contact with the un…

    Katy TurtonARTICLECanadian Slavonic Papers2010

    A sentence of exile was a regular feature of the Russian revolutionary’s underground career. In order to survive this punishment and continue their struggle against Tsarism, revolutionaries relied on help from their fellow exiles, their party, the Political Red Cross and, often, their families. Historians have rarely acknowledged the role of kin in supporting the revolutionary movement and very few studies have noted the attempts by families to m…

    The revolution of October I9I7 in Russia was meant to signal the full emancipation of women and the transformation of the family. There have already been numerous studies about the theory of the Bolsheviks and assessments of how closely their theoretical ideals matched the lived reality in the Soviet Union. This article takes a different approach and concentrates on the attitudes and experiences of Lenin’s family, assessing the extent to which th…
