In Revision and Retreat in the Historiography of 1917: Social History and Its Critics (Russian Review, April 1994), Ronald G. Suny adamantly defends the still dominant interpretation of the Russian Revolution against a resurgent interpretation of it, advanced by Richard Pipes most notably. At the same time, and in a spirit of reconciliation, Suny invites both political and social historians to acknowledge and overcome their respective weaknesses and to work together toward a superior postmodern synthesis of the rival historiographic trends. Only on this basis, Suny avers, can scholars move forward to a truer understanding of the Russian Revolution
