This video is the next installment of a series of lectures on the Russian revolution and civil war. Whereas most historians treat the early Bolshevik rule as a rule of a Communist government trying to pursue political objectives, I argue here that the Bolsheviks had no government, were not a government, they ruled by spreading chaos, free for all theft of houses, lands, factories, apartments, anything to undermine the social and political order they had overthrown. Dr Brovkin is a professor of history now retired served as an Associate Professor of Soviet History at Harvard University in the 1990s.
