Russian Revolution

We continue our week of articles and videos celebrating the centenary anniversary of the 1917 October Revolution with this video talk by Alan Woods.

Speaking at the recent October Revolution festival in London (on 20th October 2017) to mark the centenary of the 1917 Russian Revolution, Esteban Volkov – Leon Trotsky’s grandson and director of the Trotsky Museum in Mexico – discusses the significance of the Revolution, 100 years on.

In this talk at a recent day school on the Russian Revolution, Daniel Morley of the Socialist Appeal editorial board discusses the question of revolutionary insurrection, examining how Marxists approach the question of the seizure of power.

In his latest video outlining the key events of 1917, Alan Woods – author of Bolshevism: the Road to Revolution – discusses the October Revolution, when the workers and peasants of Russia seized power.

In this latest video from our series on the 1917 Russian Revolution, Alan Woods – author of “Bolshevism: from Revolution to Counter-Revolution” – discusses the failed coup attempt by General Kornilov and the impact this had on the political consciousness of the masses.

Niklas Albin Svensson of the International Marxist Tendency discusses the events of the 1917 Russian Revolution: from its opening scenes in February; through the return of Lenin in April; to the suppression in July.

Alan Woods, author of “Bolshevism – the Road to Revolution”, discusses the “July Days” of the 1917 Russian Revolution. These events marked a turning point in the revolution. From this moment on, dual power had ended. Only two options remained: either the forces of reaction would crush the revolution, or the Bolsheviks would lead the masses to take power.

Alan Woods, author of “Bolshevism: the Road to Revolution”, discusses the “June Days” of the 1917 Russian Revolution, when tensions in Petrograd began to rise and the masses turned towards the Bolsheviks and their slogan of “All Power to the Soviets!”

To commemorate the centenary of the Russian Revolution, Alan Woods, editor of In Defence of Marxism, provides a timeline analysis of 1917.
