1917. The Riddle of the "Russian" Revolution
9.99 €
The demise of the Russian Empire in 1917 was not an accident, just as it was not an accident that the Soviet Union crumbled.
In both cases, a powerful external force initiated the collapse of Russia, using scoundrels and fools who destroyed their own country for money or beautiful promises.
February 1917 is the beginning of the Russian catastrophe of the twentieth century, the consequences of which were overcome at too high a price. But the lesson did not pay off: disintegration and chaos were repeated again in 1991. Will Russia be able to avoid the third wave of apocalypse?
The book by writer and publicist Nikolai Starikov provides comprehensive answers to this and other questions:
- Why did Nicholas II and his brother abdicate the throne so easily?
- Who really organized Lenin's passage in the "sealed" carriage?
- Why did the English spy Oswald Rayner fire a "control shot" into Grigory Rasputin's forehead?
- Why did the Provisional Government pay for home travel for revolutionaries who were on their way to overthrow it?
Kerensky = Gorbachev = Yeltsin = ...?
Nikolai Starikov is one of the most famous publicists in Russia, the author of 20 best-selling books ("Stalin after the war", "War. By Other People's Hands", "Nationalization of the Ruble" and many others).
