Description
Revolutions do not happen unexpectedly, and empires do not perish for no reason. The main lesson we can draw from the 1917 revolution is an understanding of why the emperor and his entourage, in circumstances that demanded radical internal reforms, not only failed to undertake those reforms, but on the contrary tried with all their might to turn the country's development backward, increasing reliance on “traditional values,” Orthodoxy, and the army.
Chapter by chapter, through vivid human stories, in the book “The Empire Must Die” Mikhail Zygar shows how the empire moves inexorably toward catastrophe and why nothing can save it.
The main character of this book is Russian civil society. It is born in the first years of the twentieth century, develops before the reader's eyes, and disappears just as quickly after 1917. Learning the chronicle of events from a century ago, the reader can understand what is happening today and try to glimpse the future.
