Stalin. At the top of the authorities

In the book of the famous historian A.V. Shubin examines in detail the events of the initial stage of the Great Russian Revolution - from the February uprising in Petrograd and the renunciation of Nicholas II to the coming to power of the Bolsheviks. The events of a hundred years ago are discussed today as if recently had occurred. We are looking for in them the origins of our current problems and experience to solve them. At the same time, the revolutionary era has overgrown with myths and ideological stamps. In his book, the historian in detail and objectively analyzes confusing events, relying on sources and extensive literature. He answers all the basic questions that excite us and a hundred years after the events: why the monarchy fell so rapidly, why politicians who were popular in the spring of 1917 have lost their authority by the fall, why the performance of General Kornilov, as Bolsheviks, despite the Bolsheviks, despite the Bolsheviks, despite the Bolsheviks, despite The defeats came to power, could the history of our country go differently?
The book is recommended for a wide reader audience
