The Russian Revolution and Civil War 1917-1921


Book Description

The Russian Revolution and Civil War in the years 1917 to 1921 is one of the most widely studied periods in history. It is also somewhat inevitably one that has generated a huge flow of literature in the decades that have passed since the events themselves. However, until now, historians of the revolution have had no dedicated bibliography of the period and little claim to bibliographical control over the literature. The Russian Revolution and Civil War, 1917-1921offers for the first time a comprehensive bibliographical guide to this crucial and fascinating period of history. The Bibliography focuses on the key years of 1917 to 1921, starting with the February Revolution of 1917 and concluding with the 10th Party Congress of March 1921, and covers all the key events of the intervening years. As such it identifies these crucial years as something more than simply the creation of a communist state.

Problems Confronting Russia


Book Description

Excerpt from Problems Confronting Russia: And Affecting Russo-British Political and Economic Intercourse, a Retrospect and Forecast It must never be lost sight of that the maintenance of close relations between the British and Russian people is of vital importance to Russia as well as to Great Britain. And herein lies the meaning and significance of the desire to draw the bonds of friendship between the British and Russian nations closer together. It is not a mere bubble on the surface of the life of the nation, a passing whim and wish, but, on the contrary, it is a movement deeply rooted and based upon a firm foundation. It is founded alike on the dictates of reason and intelligence as well as on the demands of the heart. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
