Description

The Russian Revolution by Alan Moorehead A comprehensive account of one of the most pivotal events in modern history, this book explores the collapse of the Tsarist autocracy and the rise of the Soviet Union. In February 1917, Emperor Nicholas II abdicated, marking the end of the ancient regime. However, the Provisional Government was short-lived, and a Bolshevik government took its place in October of that year. The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, seized control of the countryside and established the Cheka to quash dissent. This period of turmoil paved the way for the creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1922. This book provides a fascinating insight into the Western view of the Soviet Union during the Cold War era, shedding light on the events that shaped this pivotal moment in history.
