Book Review: Orlando Figes - Revolutionary Russia 1891-1991

6/30/2014

Picture
Orlando Figes most recent work is a student centered book telling the story of Russia and the Soviet Union from Alexander III to the collapse of the Union under Gorbachev. For those of you who haven't yet ventured into the depth of "A People's Tragedy" this provides a rigorous revisionist view of the Revolution and its aftermath. It also nicely ties together the collapse of Tsarism and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Excellent, and probably required reading for A Level students. 

Figes has a new website which compliments the book at www.orlandofiges.info . You can buy the book for Kindle or as hard copy HERE
