La revolución rusa

Richard Pipes, a highly regarded historian specializing in contemporary Russia, published in 1992 this volume on the Russian revolution that has not yet been surpassed. Monumental and exciting for the narration of a movement whose goal was to "turn the world upside down", as Trotsky intended, Pipes' book presents an intellectual revolution rather than a class one, marked from the beginning by terror and with elements of its own. of a coup. A fundamental work.
