Probably been asked before but here we go anyway:
How did the Bolsheviks succeed stabilizing a Russia which was so divided it in nearly fell apart? Why, after war communism and the horrors of the Bolshevik revolution (kronstadt and Tambov etc), was there not a populist left wing uprising? What factors stopped the allied forced from intervening, for they would of been guarenteed success against the poorly armed and under trained russian red army.
If anyone could reccomend a book about the success and failings of the opposistion to the bolsheviks that would be nice.
Part of it was war-weariness. Another factor was a lack of a good opposition or alternative.
