poem composed for pre-schoolers. However, the overall methodology of the book is strong and applied consistently, which makes the argument convincing. The book will appeal to a wide range of scholars from different backgrounds. The visual and literary analysis will be of interest to art historians, literary scholars and researchers with a specialist interest in Soviet children’s books. The broader discussion of Soviet cultural policy will appeal to those with an interest in early Soviet history, who wish to enrich their understanding of the era further by exploring an intriguing aspect of literary and artistic production.

The twin challenges of grain procurement and military threat from the White armies in 1919 and 1920 and how they were handled by provincial soviet officials are essential to understanding the survival and nature of Soviet Russia. The purpose of this article is to use a local study to examine in detail how the 1919-20 Soviet procurement campaigns were conducted in the localities. The focus here is Penza, a central ‘producing' province, located on the eastern edge of the central Black Earth region yet at a distance from the Volga and outlying provinces where ferocity, loyalty to the revolution, and personal power prevailed in procurement and government control was weak. The Bolsheviks routinely concentrated armed force and capable personnel in one crisis area after another for short-term military or procurement purposes. Yet, this study finds that for Penza resources such as armed food brigades and rank-and-file communists became scarce as these were mobilized for work in newly occupied regions where procurement burdens became more significant. Procurement officials in Penza faced the necessity of near constant pragmatic adjustments in their engagement with their subordinates as well as peasant producers as circumstances and access to resources changed frequently. By tracing the local apparatus's history, a clearer picture emerges of the obstacles and adjustments involved in administering the Soviet grain monopoly behind the lines of the Civil War. In this way, we add to our knowledge of the challenges that shaped the Bolsheviks' efforts to resolve the grain crisis and survive the Civil War.

This article examines the functioning of military power in the Petrograd garrison during the revolution of 1917. This problem is viewed as part of a study of the dual power system. Formally, all power over the soldiers in Petrograd belonged to the Commander-in-Chief and the headquarters of the Petrograd Military District. However, the conditions of the revolution created a new contact body between the Commander and the Petrograd Soviet called the Commander's Council. This body solved a wide range of issues, but mainly controlled the withdrawal of military units from the city. The history of the Council demonstrates the periodisation of dual power from February to October. At the beginning, mistrust, then cooperation, then an attempt by the military command to take all power into their own hands, and, finally, the struggle of the Soviet for complete control over the garrison, which ended with the October uprising. The article concludes that dual power in this period of political instability reduced distrust in the decisions of the military authorities. However, it took an effort on both sides to keep the system in balance; attempts to assume complete power led to an open struggle.

The October Revolution festival, introduced as a public holiday in Soviet Russia in 1919, was always both a reflection of the contemporary political situation and an instrument to impose necessary ideological concepts. This article focuses on the festival designs completed by the experimental group from Moscow, Dvizhenie, for the fiftieth anniversary. It analyses the focus of state propaganda in 1967, which was centred on placing space exploration and technological advancement within the perspective of the entire history of revolutionary commemorations, and explores the state of freedom of expression and the nature of ideological crisis in the period.

At the height of his cult of personality in 1938, Stalin deleted almost all references to his prerevolutionary career within the Bolshevik underground from the canonical Short Course on party history. Recognizing the challenge that this editing poses to traditional understandings of the personality cult, this article analyzes Stalin’s excisions from this all-important text and then looks to recent research by Ronald Grigor Suny, Stephen Kotkin, Erik van Ree, Ol’ga Edel’man and others in order to explain the peculiar nature of this official historical narrative.
