Description
Revolutions don’t happen out of nowhere, empires don’t collapse on their own. The main lesson we can draw from the Revolution of 1917 is understanding why the emperor and his circle—when the situation demanded radical internal reforms—did not only refuse to carry them out, but, on the contrary, tried by every means to push the country’s development backward, strengthening reliance on “traditional values,” Orthodoxy, and the army. Chapter after chapter, through living stories of people, in the book “The Empire Must Die,” Mikhail Zygar shows how the empire steadily moves toward catastrophe—and why nothing can save it. The main character of this book is Russian civil society. It emerges in the first years of the 20th century, develops in front of the reader’s eyes, and disappears—right before the reader’s eyes—soon after 1917. Learning the chronicle of events from a hundred years ago, the reader can understand what is happening today and try to look into the future.
