The Russian Revolution of 1917 changed the world forever. For once, it
appeared that the oppressed workers were within grasp of the levers of state
power and for a while the prospect of permanently ending exploitation seemed
a real possibility. The revolutionary mood swept across continents and its
impact was felt far beyond the parties of the left and the organised labour
movement. The revolution inspired writers, poets, intellectuals and
philosophers as much as it did workers and activists. With this special
Occasional Publication the Socialist History Society commemorates these
momentous events of one hundred years ago with a series of specially written
articles that examine the reactions to the revolution and its impact in
different areas.
