This book explores the survival strategies and struggles of the Ural region's population during the Revolution, Civil War, and mass famine. The key idea of the monograph is that the region's population at the epicenter of the Civil War—eyewitnesses, willing and unwilling participants—were simultaneously co-authors and victims of those severe upheavals. Within the monograph, you will encounter Red and White rulers, corrupt officials, jubilant demonstrators, enraged crowds of citizens, hordes of hungry peasants, and even the devil himself.
