Revolutionary Russia, 1891-1991
A Pelican Introduction
Orlando Figes
What caused the Russian Revolution?
Did it
succeed or fail?
Do we still
live with its consequences?
Orlando
Figes teaches history at Birkbeck, University of London and is the author of
many acclaimed books on Russian history, including A People's Tragedy,
which The Times Literary Supplement named as one of the '100 most
influential books since the war', Natasha's Dance, The Whisperers, Crimea and Just
Send Me Word. The Financial Times called him 'the greatest
storyteller of modern Russian historians.'
"Insightful and convincing... Figes integrates his analysis into a highly readable story, and he shows himself to be a master of historical narrative. Readers will find themselves absorbing a great deal of information and insight with very little effort." - David Priestland, Financial Times
"A primer intended for readers unfamiliar with the territory, it sparkles with ideas, vivid storytelling, poignant anecdotes and pithy phrases... Fresh and dramatic." - Victor Sebestyen, Sunday Times
