About the book: 2019 / Andrey Svetenko is a historian, political observer, author and presenter of historical educational programs "Questions of History", "History Lesson" and "This Day in history" on "Radio Russia" and "Vesti FM". The abdication of Nicholas II, Lenin's April Theses, the storming of the Winter Palace, the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks. The peaks of what happened, clearly visible to us from the height of historical flight, are inscribed by the author into everyday everyday life: bread coupons, heating interruptions, general apathy and fatigue. Telling the story of the Great Russian Revolution, Andrei Svetenko immerses the reader in the events of 1917 through living stories of people, newspaper reports, and diary entries. You can get acquainted with the book sequentially, “day by day,” or refer to its contents selectively, with a specific event in mind. Unique opportunity to read about key moments in the history of the Russian Empire! Draw parallels with recent history, because the events of a hundred years ago are more than relevant today!
