Russia in UpheavalAuthor(s): Edward Alsworth Ross, Rex A. Wade, Rex A. Wade\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Anthem Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Anthem Press\nISBN-13: 9781839997259, 978-1839997259\nSynopsis\nEdward Alsworth Ross, one of the founders of the academic field of sociology, spent JulyDecember 1917 traveling across the Russian Empire and talking to the people there. As he states in his brief introduction, I have taken it as my business to describe impartially the major social changes going on in Russia in the latter half of 1917, and leave it to others or to time itself to judge them. Ross follows through on that promise remarkably well, describing Russian peasants, the urban educated class, industrial workers, women, religion, people who had been imprisoned under tsarism, religion, the people of the Caucasus and Central Asia, and the proposals for democracy, among other topics.\n\nThough this unique account focuses more on the people and less on politics than other acco.
