A people's tragedy : a history of the Russian Revolution

by Orlando Figes

This social history explores the Russian Revolution by weaving individual experiences from private writings into a broader narrative of political upheaval. It analyses how deep-seated cultural factors contributed to the failure of democracy and the rise of a violent regime.
