Sergei Kirov and the Struggle for Soviet Power in the Terek Region, 1917-1918

Western historiography of the Russian Revolution of 1917 contains few monographic studies of the outlying provinces of the Russian Empire. This dissertation examines revolutionary politics in the multi-national Terek Region, in the Northern Caucasus, from the February Revolution to the establishment there of a Soviet government in March 1918. The presence of Sergei Kirov, who subsequently became an important supporter of Stalin and a member of the ruling Politburo, lends additional interest to the course of the revolution in the Terek Region.
