Великая русская революция, 1905–1921

Библиография

 

 

Избранная литература на английском языке о русской революции, 1905-1921

Историография русской революции обширна и представляет многочисленные (и нередко противоречащие друг другу) точки зрения и интерпретации, многие из которых были рассмотрены в настоящей книге. В ходе изучения революции исследователи подвергали рассмотрению ее глубинные и непосредственные причины, анализировали идеологии, которыми руководствовались различные политические партии и их вожди, описывали роль и цели различных социальных групп, отказывались от традиционного упора на столичные города и центральные губернии ради изучения более отдаленных национальных и имперских территорий, а также стремились вскрыть более глубокие и сложные умонастроения и отношения, таящиеся в глубине событий, поступков и формальных идеологических заявлений. Как и в большинстве других областей исторических исследований, в этой области с течением времени тоже проявилась тенденция к повороту от индивидуумов к обществу, от событий к опыту, от центра к окраинам, от поверхности к глубине – даже в тех случаях, когда ключевым вопросом оставались причины и последствия. Разумеется, исследователи продолжают вести дискуссии о подходах и интерпретациях (обычно, но не всегда придерживаясь вежливого тона) и изучать новые источники. Хотя в настоящей библиографии представлены лишь англоязычные работы, в ней сделана попытка учесть многие из этих направлений и точек зрения. В первую очередь я надеюсь на то, что она откроет перед читателями возможные направления исследований. В библиографию не включены все работы, упомянутые в ссылках, которые тоже можно использовать при поиске дополнительной литературы по конкретным вопросам.
