Lehren aus der Niederlage
Russia has a long history of wars. Despite the alternation between defeats and victories, Russia’s territorial expansion seemed almost like a law of nature to contemporaries and historians alike. The First World War ended in defeat for Russia. Under its pressure, the Tsarist empire fell apart. The new elites and the population reacted differently to the experience of war and defeat: desertion and the militarisation of the economy, society, and cu…

The Crucible of the First World War. What the Bolsheviks learned from the «imperialist» war Even before 1914, deep ethnic and social tensions in Russia resulted in violence. Labor militancy, revolutionary terrorism and tsarist anti-revolutionary repression, and, not least, anti-semitic pogroms in the countryside were typical forms of violence. When civil war broke out after the Bolsheviks seized power, violence on the left and the right reached u…
