1917. Russian Calvary

In the presented book, the collapse of the Russian Empire and its last king was first shown from the point of view of politicians, writers, revolutionaries, diplomats, generals and other educated people who were a minority in the country, and through the prism of popular, philistine perception. On the basis of numerous archival documents, journalistic materials, a chronicle of trials, memories, letters, newspaper chronicle and other sources in the work, an analysis of the revolution as a phenomenon that grew out of the very worldview of Russian society and expressed its true motivation motives.
In addition, the authors of the book give their answer to several important questions. In particular, when did the train of Russian history switched to revolutionary rails? Is it true that in the period between wars, Russia was rich and flourished? Why did the unity of the king with the people in August 1914 have so quickly replaced by the fierce hatred of the people to the monarchy? What role did vodka play in the revolution? Could the country continue the war in 1917? What was the true role of the Bolsheviks and why did not the deputies who actually overthrow the king, not the military, not the oligarchs, but the revolutionaries (which actually happens very rarely) came to power? Was there a real alternative to revolution in the minds of society? And when, in fact, a civil war began in Russia?
