A review by msgtdameron
El año I de la revolución rusa by Victor Serge

informative inspiring medium-paced

5.0

The great thing about reading Serge, especially his histories, is he was there.  Now he wasn't there in 1917.  He didn't arrive in Petrograd until 1919, but when he quote's Lenin or any one else, he is getting the quote from the secretary who was there.  The source may be secondary, but it was a man who was in the room and that is cool.  A lot of great information in this work for those who want to get past the West's version of the Red Revolution or Stalin's version of the same.  Well written, well researched, and full of information on the Russian Revolution.
