The Great October Revolution radically changed the course of development of all mankind, and showed "the whole world the way to socialism." 1 The socialist Revolution in Russia was a natural consequence of social development and class struggle. It was made possible by the unity of action of the working class with the non-proletarian strata of the working people. "Expressing the fundamental interests of the absolute majority of the country's population, the working class, in alliance with the working peasantry, ensured the victory of the revolution and established its power." 2 It is not surprising that the scientific generalization of the historical experience of forming an alliance between the working class and the poorest peasantry as a decisive force in the struggle for the social and national liberation of the working masses, the revolutionary movement and the class struggle in the countryside occupies an important place in the historiography of the October Revolution. The beginning of a concrete historical study of the agrarian and peasant problem was laid back in the 1920s. Since then, many works have been published on the class struggle in the countryside. The most intensive and fruitful research was conducted in the 50s-70s. Further creative development of the history of the agrarian revolution in Russia is impossible without taking into account the existing achievements. There is a need for historiographical generalization of the work done. Attempts in this direction have already been made by E. A. Lutsky, A. V. Sedov, and G. A. Gerasimenko.

Sedov's article was written in terms of raising some poorly studied or controversial issues without considering specific historical research. G. A. Gerasimenko was interested in the problem of grassroots peasant organizations .3This article attempts to expand the problematics and chronological frame ... Читать далее
