This monograph studies the confrontation of the Bolsheviks with their political opponents for influence and key offices in the Russian army immediately after the October revolution. The author focuses on the role of millions of privates, mostly peasants, in these dramatic events and the influence on army morale of the first Bolshevik decrees on peace, land, democratization, and demobilization. The combined result of these propagandist actions was the complete disbanding of the Russian tsarist army. The monograph uses much new factual material about temporary Military-Revolutionary Committees, their party affiliation and leadership, activities in the army. Bibliographic references. Name index.
