The particular originality of this volume lies in \u003cbr\u003ethe fact that the author also examines the way in which these issues \u003cbr\u003ewere viewed both at the time and later. He looks at contemorary (1917) \u003cbr\u003eassumptions, at the validity of questions traditionally asked about the \u003cbr\u003eRevolution, and concerns himself with the degree of hindsight and \u003cbr\u003eideological basis contained both in the questions themselves and in the \u003cbr\u003eanswers usually given to them. The author's knowledge of works in \u003cbr\u003eRussian as well as in German, English and French add to the \u003cbr\u003eindispensability of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087645368471,"sku":"9780854965182","price":4322.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780854965182.webp?v=1767266860","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-russian-revolution-9780854965182","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
