Description

Railwaymen and Revolution: Russia, 1905 provides a deep and meticulously researched exploration of the role that railroad workers played in shaping one of the most transformative moments in Russian revolutionary history. More than a simple prelude to the October Revolution of 1917, the events of 1905 fundamentally redefined class struggle, social consciousness, and the relationship between workers and the broader revolutionary movement. This book situates railway workers within the broader context of Russia’s rapidly industrializing landscape, revealing how their unique position―both economically and geographically―made them central to the strike movements that characterized the revolution. As a workforce spanning across vast stretches of the empire, railroad laborers served as both a conduit for revolutionary ideas and a formidable force in their own right, shaping the dynamics of class consciousness in ways that extended beyond traditional factory settings. Through a combination of historical analysis and political theory, the book examines how railway workers navigated the complex intersection of economic grievances, professional identity, and political struggle. The author highlights the conflicting pressures exerted by the managerial elite, liberal reformers, and socialist radicals, illustrating how these tensions played out within the labor movement itself. The study also challenges traditional interpretations of Russian labor history by demonstrating that class consciousness was not an inevitable byproduct of industrialization but rather a contested and evolving process. By focusing on the railroads, the book offers a fresh perspective on the 1905 revolution, making it an essential read for scholars of Russian history, labor studies, and revolutionary movements. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1987.
