The peasant uprisings of the Civil War era occupy a crucial place in the history of the establishment of Soviet power, leaving a deep trace in the cultural memory of the following generations. Over the past hundred years, the emphasis and ways of describing the peasant protests have changed radically several times, from the official Soviet interpretation of the uprisings as "Kulak-Serov rebellions" to the romanticization of the rebels during the perestroika period. Bolshevik censorship and the gradual disappearance of the village world led to the fact that the story of the popular uprisings of those years has been told mainly through "outsider voices". This collective monograph explores the peculiarities of preserving and transmitting the memory of these events. What processes related to monuments and sites of commemoration have taken place over the last hundred years? How have oral memories been transmitted from older to younger generations? How have private and family memories changed during this time? What impact has mass culture had on the historical memory of the rebellion? The authors cover the answers to these questions using the examples of the Tambov and West Siberian uprisings and a number of other uprisings. Many memoir sources, interviews and archival documents used by the authors are introduced into the scientific circulation for the first time.
