[eBook] [PDF] For States of Anxiety 1st Edition By William Rosenberg

In the book States of Anxiety, the author looks at how Russia dealt with big shortages and losses between 1914 and 1921, during a time of war and revolution. This wasn’t just about not having enough food—it also caused a lot of fear and worry for people.

The author uses old documents from that time to show how different groups in Russia, like the tsarist government, the Bolsheviks, and others, tried to fix these problems. They hoped their plans would help them win the revolution, but in the end, their ideas didn’t work.

The book explains that the shortages weren’t just about not having enough things to buy. They also caused problems with prices, money, and how goods were made and shared. People had to worry about fairness, sacrifices, and social differences. Many were afraid of not having enough food, losing jobs, or not being able to care for their families. Government officials had to deal with these problems, along with black markets, growing social differences, and other fears that affected everyone’s lives.
