International Center for the History and Sociology of World War II
and Its Consequences at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow.
She is the coeditor of two books, including Russia's Revolution in
Regional Perspective.
Seth Bernstein is an assistant professor of
history at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. He is the
author of Raised under Stalin: Young Communists and the Defense of
Socialism and the translator of Alexander Vatlin's Agents of
Terror: Ordinary Men and Extraordinary Violence in Stalin's Secret
Police.
"Clear and articulate, the narrative is detailed, exemplary, and
driven by testimonials interspersed with precise description and
individual portraits."--Cahiers du monde russe
"Novikova's treatment of the Russian Civil War is both original and
compelling. It will be an agenda-setting book in the literature on
the period. Wonderfully written and well argued, it should appeal
to those with interests in Russian history and twentieth-century
history more broadly." --Peter I. Holquist, author of Making War,
Forging Revolution
"The White movement in North Russia had a character of its own,
reflecting the particulars and peculiarities of the region, as this
excellent new study reveals." --Revolutionary Russia
"Novikova's challenging work, originally published in 2011, has
finally reached English-speaking audiences thanks to the
translation work of Seth Bernstein. . . . Readers will quickly find
that the book has a great deal to contribute toward multiple
fields, including political, social, and military history, each
given a fair deal of attention. . . . Any scholar studying this
period of revolution, civil war, and crisis should add this book to
their repertoire."--H-War
