These movements, which sought to defend the social revolution from destruction by the politicians, provide important material for a clearer understanding of both the original objectives of the Russian Revolution and the problems with which all revolutions with far-reaching social objectives have to contend.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on the revolutionary press of the time, Voline reveals the deep cleavage between the objectives of the libertarians and those of the Bolsheviks, differences which the latter \"resolved\" by ruthlessly eliminating all who stood in their way in the struggle for power.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis edition is a translation of the full text of \u003cem\u003eLa R騅olution inconnue\u003c\/em\u003e, originally published in French in 1947.
