description: Held after the overthrow of the monarchy and before the Bolshevik forging of the one-party Soviet system, the 1917 election to the Constituent Assembly was the only ballot that was universal, secret, equal, and direct in the history of the Russians and other peoples who make up today's USSR. Radkey (emeritus history, U. of Texas) reprints his 1950 account of the voting, supplemented with new data and revised in the light of current scholarship. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
