The Union of Regeneration: the Anti-Bolshevik Underground in Revolutionary Russia, 1917-1919
No full textPhDThe Union of Regeneration has been chosen as the main focal point of this thesis, a
study of underground political organisations in revolutionary Russia who came about
as a result of fragmentation of Russia's major political parties in 1917 and sought to
oppose the Bolshevik takeover of power. The thesis traces the origins of the
underground in the political turmoil of 1917 before detailing how each group was
formed, and how a number of plans were made, most of which hinged on the
extensive involvement of Allied interventionist forces, to form an anti-Bolshevik and
anti-German front in the wake of the signature of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The
efforts of the Union of Regeneration, the National Centre, and other groups such as
the Union for the Defence of the Fatherland and Freedom are presented as a series of
failures which took place mostly in 1918. By examining the reasons for each of these
failures, this thesis hopes to focus not on external factors, such as the lack of Allied
intervention to assist the underground groups or the machinations of reactionary
forces against them, in order to reveal the fundamental failings of the underground
movement as a whole. The underground lacked any organisational discipline or
coherence, its ranks were easily entered on a loose, `personal' basis and there was
little unity of purpose between its members, save the removal of Soviet power.
Consequently, plans made were too vague, agreements were too easily broken, and
alliances were too easily ruptured. This thesis, then, hopes to demonstrate that
although when considered together the anti-Bolshevik underground constituted a
genuine potential threat to the Bolshevik regime, that it failed to act as one
contributed greatly to it being easily marginalised by the extremes of left and right
An analysis of the inability of the provisional government to prevent the Bolshevik seizure of power and the failure of Kerensky's coalition politics in 1917
Full text linkThis thesis examines the weaknesses of the Provisional Government and Kerensky's coalition politics. It is argued that a teleological deterministic view of Russian history must be laid aside if the study is to progress. It is shown that whilst Provisional Government policies were not successful on the key issues of bread, land and peace, these issues were not resolvable in the short term, and the Bolshevik promise of bread was fallacious. On the question of peace, however, the Provisional Government failed to recognise Russia’s need for peace, and consequently failed to prioritise Russia's withdrawal from the war, which was a major factor in the Provisional Government's inability to win widespread support. It is shown that the war was a financial and logistic crisis for the Provisional Government. There was an implicit contradiction in the soldiers' desires to retain their new rights and freedoms, and the desire of senior command to restore order in the army. The position of the Petrograd workers was crippled by the failure of moderation and legitimate means to improve workers living conditions. As a result, 1917 saw a definitive move to the left in the workers' movement. The three moderate political parties all lacked a firm party organisation and discipline, and had no experience of coalition politics. The two socialist parties were unable to reconcile their differences constructively, and allowed personal enmity to interfere with political life in 1917. The SR-Menshevik alliance had the potential to prevent the Bolsheviks from gaining control of the Soviets, and combined the popular support of the SR's with the mature leadership of the Mensheviks. Although Miliukov and the Kadets had the greatest political experience, they handicapped the coalition because they would not accept radical social change. Assessment of the role of Alexander Kerensky in die events of 1917 shows that much of the criticism he has faced is unjust, and that he acquitted himself well in 1917
