Glossary¶
This section is a glossary of people, groups, periodicals, and terms referenced in the book. The ‘People’ entries provide brief biographical sketches of key figures from the 1917 Russian Revolution and international socialist movement, including Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, SRs, Cadets, and German social democrats, with notes on their political positions and wartime allegiances. The ‘Groups, periodicals and other terms’ section defines political factions (e.g., Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, Spartacus League), newspapers (e.g., Pravda, Rech), and concepts like Blanquism. It is a reference tool for identifying the many individuals and organisations discussed in the main text.
