Recenzje

Review of first edition: '… it is a thoughtful and balanced work which logically describes the sequence and outcome of the events of 1917 … as of today it is the book that logically balances the many, divergent extremes of past interpretations of the Russian revolution.' Buldakov V. P., Otechestvennaya Istoriya
