When workers and peasants rose up across Russia and smashed the centuries old Tsarist autocracy their actions reverberated across the world, and continue to inspire activists to this day. This carefully assembled and expertly translated collection of documents from the Petrograd socialist movement in 1917 provides contemporary readers with a firsthand glimpse into the revolutionary ferment as it unfolds. In Leaflets of the Russian Revolution, Barbara Allen selects and introduces the pamphlets and other agitational material that give life to the debates, disagreements and perspectives that animated the masses during the revolution.

While growing up in rural North Carolina, I loved to read about people in other places and times and to write short stories, poems, and satire. I studied Russian language and literature and Modern European history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and earned a Ph.D. in Russian and Soviet History at Indiana University Bloomington. I have carried out archival research in Russia, Ukraine, and the United States. I teach at La Salle University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
