Revolutionaries

2 hrs. 52 min.
Natalia Ivanovna Basovskaya is a Doctor of Historical Sciences, professor, and head of the Department of World History at the Historical and Archival Institute of the Russian State University for the Humanities. Who is a revolutionary? What drives people to go “to the barricades”? Are revolutions really the locomotives of history? The audiobook “History in Stories. Revolutionaries” contains six stories about six great rebels, six people who challenged fate, six heroes — or perhaps antiheroes. Probably there can be no single opinion here. Natalia Basovskaya presents masterfully precise portraits of revolutionary figures from different eras, of whom one can certainly say that their life was struggle.
