American Bolsheviki: The Beginnings of the First Red Scare, 1917 to 1918
Murray State\u27s Digital Commons, 2019Co-Authors: Dunning JonathanAbstract:A consensus has developed among historians that widespread panic consumed the American public and government as many came to fear a Bolshevik coup of the United States government and the undermining of the American way of life beginning in early 1919. Known as the First Red Scare, this period became one of the most well-known episodes of American fear of Communism in US history. With this focus on the events of 1919 to 1920, however, historians of the First Red Scare have often ignored the initial American reaction to the October Revolution in late 1917 and throughout 1918. A study of this earlier period demonstrates that American fear and hatred of Bolshevism emerged immediately after the Bolshevik uprising in Russia. For over a year prior to 1919, the American press, American authorities, and American leaders claimed the American Bolsheviki plotted to seize control of the US. While fear of Bolshevism in American society during the period of 1917 to 1918 did not become as widespread as it did from 1919 to 1920, a study of these early years aids historical understanding of how the First Red Scare developed in American society and challenges widely accepted notions of when the First Red Scare began

American Bolsheviki: The Beginnings of the First Red Scare, 1917 to 1918
Murray State\u27s Digital Commons, 2018Co-Authors: Dunning JonathanAbstract:Most historians treat the First Red Scare of 1919 to 1920 in the United States as an isolated event from World War I, making it seem as if American fears of Bolshevism formed rapidly in the early months of 1919. However, in the period immediately following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 and throughout 1918, fear and hatred of Bolsheviks and Bolshevism already emerged in both the American press and government. Thus, even prior to the First Red Scare, Bolsheviks came to be perceived as disloyal and subversive to the United States and Socialists and Industrial Worker of the World members were accused of Bolshevik related activity. This paper focuses on how American perceptions of Bolshevism during 1917 and 1918 influenced and helped lead to the First Red Scare period. Ultimately, this research will also help show the connections between World War I and the First Red Scare

the people need a tsar the emergence of national Bolshevism as stalinist ideology 1931 1941
Europe-Asia Studies, 1998Co-Authors: D. L. Brandenberger, A. M. DubrovskyAbstract:IN A SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE from the materialist proletarian internationalism characteristic of the first 15 years of Soviet rule, the role of the state, individual and Russian ethnos underwent a major rehabilitation in the mid-to-late 1930s. While it would be rather simplistic to accept N. Timasheff's description of this ideological transformation as a 'great retreat',1 the era's flux in state ideology is as dramatic as it is puzzling. Although some of the changes may have been related to the emerging cult of personality,2 it would be unwise to limit oneself to identifying this as the sole or even central ideological innovation of the era. Equally important-and distinct from the cult-is the development of a state-oriented patriotic ideology reminiscent of tsarist 'great power' (velikoderzhavnye) and russocentric traditions, something which M. N. Ryutin referred to as 'national Bolshevism'.3 Statements of Stalin's typically associated with the personality cult-'don't forget that we are living in Russia, the land of the tsars ... the Russian people like it when one person stands at the head of the state' and 'the people need a tsar'-are actually better understood as symptomatic of the party hierarchy's etatist view of history.4 This article details the emergence of national Bolshevism as a statist component of official Soviet ideology between 1931 and 1941.

Stalin's Bolshevism: The year of the revolution
Revolutionary Russia, 2000Co-Authors: E. Van ReeAbstract:This article criticises the thesis that Stalin believed that, as Russia needed an extended period of capitalist development, only a regime dominated by the liberal bourgeoisie was a feasible revolutionary perspective, which, again, turned him into a critical follower of the Provisional Government. In fact, only the socialist perspective contained in Lenin's April policies was new. The hope that the democratic republic would take on a Soviet form, and would be dominated by revolutionary popular parties instead of liberal‐capitalist ones, was part of bolshevik doctrine. Before Lenin's return to Russia, Stalin already announced that, in time, the Provisional Government should be brought down and replaced by a Soviet one. And, in October, he did not hesitate to work towards such a take‐over. The thesis that he ‘missed the revolution’ is a myth.
