dc.description.abstractThe Russian Revolution of 1917 and the subsequent Russian Civil War were two key events of the 20th Century. They led to substantial morbidity and mortality on a population level. The article argues that, for the Bolsheviks, the Revolution involved a society attempting to escape from a context of stasis and death; that it involved highly skilled individuals and groups; and that the society experienced feelings of transcendence and health as a result of its attempts to escape from this death context. As such, the article argues that, from their perspective, the Bolsheviks engaged in what could be considered collective-level edgework.en
