The Empire Must Die. The History of Russian Revolutions in Faces. 1900-1917. (in 3 volumes)
Revolutions do not occur unexpectedly; empires do not die out of nowhere. The main lesson we can draw from the 1917 revolution is understanding why the emperor and his entourage, in an environment that demanded radical internal reforms, not only...
refrained from implementing these reforms but, on the contrary, tried by all means to turn the country's development backwards, reinforcing reliance on "traditional values," Orthodoxy, and the army.
Chapter by chapter, through the vivid stories of people, Mikhail Zygar shows how the empire inexorably moves towards catastrophe and why nothing can save it.
The main character of this book is Russian civil society. It emerges in the early years of the 20th century, develops before the reader's eyes, and soon disappears after 1917. By learning about the chronology of events a century ago, the reader can understand what is happening today and try to glimpse into the future.
