Hidden from history since the early twentieth century is the truth about the revolution in Russia. The common narrative is that it was a coup by the Bolsheviks, and this led to the bloody dictatorship under Stalin. This served two purposes, in the west that socialism is dictatorship and in the east that Stalin was the logical outcome of Lenin. In both scenarios the masses are deleted from history and from active participation in the revolution. This book sets the record straight.   Written from the perspective that 1917 was a genuine workers revolution and that Stalin represented the counter-revolution. The authors look at workers democracy, the revolution in everyday life, and the experiments in education, theatre, and the arts. All of which in a decade shook the world and gave inspiration to millions on what was possible.
