Abstract

The review presents an analysis of V. V. Kondrashin’s textbook, which, on the basis of a large complex of archival and published documentary materials and scientific literature, recreated a panorama of the relationship of the Russian peasantry with the opposing power structures that appeared and functioned in Russia during the Great Russian Revolution – the Bolshevik government and its political opponents that arose during the Civil War, white and other regimes. It is noted that the author paid special attention to the conceptual views of Soviet, Russian and foreign historians, which made it possible to gain new knowledge about the practices of the behavior of peasants in various regions of Russia during social conflicts – uprisings and other protest actions and to trace their attitude to the agrarian policy of the Soviet government, as well as the governments and leaders of the white movement. Factors that influenced the choice of the Russian peasantry were identified – support for the Soviet government, which ensured its victory during the Civil War.

Summary

Introduction

Публикация книги обусловлена тем, что ее автор на протяжении многих лет разрабатывал и читал такой курс лекций для студентов исторического факультета Пензенского педагогического института, а затем Пензенского государственного университета. Отмечается, что особое внимание автор уделил концептуальным воззрениям советских, российских и зарубежных историков, что позволило получить новые знания о практиках поведения крестьян различных регионов России во время социальных конфликтов – восстаний и других протестных акций и проследить их отношение к аграрной политике советской власти, а также правительств и лидеров белого движения. Определены факторы, повлиявшие на выбор российского крестьянства – поддержку советской власти, что обеспечило ее победу в ходе Гражданской войны.
