   Vengeance and Ressentiment in the Russian Revolution
   Sheila Fitzpatrick

   From: French Historical Studies
   Volume 24, Number 4, Fall 2001
   pp. 579-588
   Abstract

   Arno Mayer’s The Furies turns our attention to vengeance and
   ressentiment as part of the complex of practices and discourses of
   revolutionary violence. Following Mayer’s lead, this essay explores the
   phenomena of vengeance and ressentiment in the context of the Russian
   Revolution, which is broadly defined as the four decades of upheaval in
   Russia/the Soviet Union starting in 1917. It argues that
   vengeance/ressentiment in the Russian Revolution was not a fixed
   constant but something that changed over time, notably with respect to
   its targets: prerevolutionary (“bourgeois”) elites in the early
   revolutionary period, the Russian intelligentsia at the end of the
   1920s, the Communist administrative elite in the Great Purges of the
   late 1930s, and Jews in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Finally, it
   suggests a comparable question for French historians: Is there a
   history to be written of vengeance/ressentment in the French
   Revolution?
