Nach der Russischen Revolution, einem der geschichtsmächtigsten Ereignisse des Zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts, bleiben zentrale Fragen immer noch unbeantwortet: Warum brach das zaristische Regime 1917 zusammen? Wie konnten die Bolschewiken die Macht ergreifen? Warum wurde gerade Stalin Lenins Nachfolger?

Mr. Pipes writes trenchantly, and at times superbly....No single volume known to me even begins to cater so adequately to those who want to discover what really happened to Russia....Nor do I know any other book better designed to help Soviet citizens to struggle out of the darkness."-- Ronald Hingley, The New York Times Book ReviewGround-breaking in its inclusiveness, enthralling in its narrative of a movement whose purpose, in the words of L...
