A detailed account of the two Russian Revolutions of 1917 (February and, above all, October) would take us too far afield. What is possible, however, is to sketch briefly some of the principal ways in which the actual revolutionary process resembled little the organizational doctrines advocated in What Is to Be Done The high-modernist... 

In the case of the Bolshevik Revolution, it was also necessary that the official narrative include a genuinely popular mass movement of which the Bolsheviks eventually assumed leadership.

Similarly, Russian historians have focused more on the February and October Revolutions of 1917 than on the war itself. As one scholar has noted, most have seen the war as a disintegration leading to a disgraceful end. In a similar vein, studies of Russian science have largely ignored the war.
