Taking the Russian Revolution as pure ideology—out of the general WWI context along w/ the collapse of the old imperial order—is misleading.
@NinaByzantina Where can I find more, good trustworthy info about that revolution. History revision is everywhere nowadays.
@Chahuapa Cambridge history-of-Russia anthology is written from the Western perspective (take with a grain of salt), but is quite thorough.
@NinaByzantina Okay. Any other sources to cross reference?
@Chahuapa It's a compilation by dozens of authors, but I can give further sources, once I'm back in the computer.
@NinaByzantina Thanks. Appreciate it.
@NinaByzantina are you familiar with either Richard Pipes' "The Russian Revolution" or George Kennan's 3 vol set on U.S.-Soviet Relations?
@NinaByzantina in your view are either good historical sources? I'm curious because I've never read the Cambridge anthology.
@NinaByzantina whatever they gained cant be equated to millions of deaths... Russians r still victims of the great calamity of Lenin...
@UrchinSpock @NinaByzantina in 70 ys of #Socialism state There were 7,000,000 arrests
where would the millions of deaths? Western Propaganda
