The Russian Revolution traces the crises that overthrew the Romanov monarchy and brought the Bolsheviks to power in 1917. It explains the pressures of war, food shortages, labour unrest and political exclusion that produced the February Revolution and the provisional government.
The account follows the soviets, Lenin’s return, the July Days, Kornilov affair and October seizure of power. It then considers the first decrees and the beginnings of civil war, showing how a broad revolt against autocracy narrowed into a struggle over socialist authority and the future of the former empire.
