Zusammenfassung:Held after the overthrow of the monarchy in the interlude of freedom between the Bolshevik seizure of power and the forging of the one-party Soviet system, the 1917 election to the Constituent Assembly was the only ballot that was universal, secret, equal, and direct in the history of the Russians and other peoples who make up today 's USSR. Its results are perhaps the most accurate available index of popular opinion throughout the country at the time the Bolsheviks took power.In the present volume, Oliver H. Radkey provides the most authoritative analysis of the election returns available in any language. The author's earlier account of the voting, first published in 1950 and long unavailable, is reprinted in its entirety. Radkey supplements that work with a wealth of new data, and reassesses his earlier findings in the light of current scholarship. Especially noteworthy is the new information on the vote of the non-Russian peoples and of various religious parties and special-interest groups. These data, the fruit of many years of painstaking research, are set forth in meticulous and substantial new tables.The results of the 1917 election are essential to an understanding of the range and depth of popular support for the Bolsheviks and other parties. Radkey's classic account will enhance ongoing debates about the course of the 1917 Revolution and the legitimacy of Soviet rule
