The four books under review challenge the revolutionary leadership-centered view of the Russian Revolution from various perspectives. Specifically, they highlight the influence on revolutionary politics of seemingly peripheral groups such as workers and Jewish revolutionary activists. Each of the authors claims that the agendas of these groups were considerably more important than the agendas of the revolutionary leadership in ensuring the success or the failure of revolutionary policies.

重新思考俄国革命中的政治能动性：来自俄罗斯帝国边疆的观点

正在审查的四本书从不同的角度挑战了以革命领导为中心的俄国革命观点。具体来说，他们强调了工人和犹太革命活动家等看似外围的群体对革命政治的影响。每一位作者都声称，在确保革命政策成败方面，这些团体的议程比革命领导层的议程重要得多。
