Amazing Read!
Very informative story of the Bolshevik takeover of Russia in November, 1917
The preface is dated 'January 1, 1919' and the introduction 'end of 1919.' "As we came down the Nevsky a little after midday the whole street before the Duma building was crowded with people. Here and there stood Red Guards and sailors, with bayonetted rifles, each one surrounded by about a hundred men and women--clerks, students, shopkeepers, tchinovniki--shaking their fists and bawling insults and menaces. On the other side stood boy-scouts and officers, distributing copies of the Soldatski Golos." Many documents reprinted, but no index.
