Synopsis

Telling the story of the February 1917 Revolution, Pipes makes clear how the intelligentsia it bought to power proved unable to govern a country rent by social and ethnic conflicts, and how in the end power was seized by an authoritarian Bolshevik party bent on using Russia as a springboard for world revolution.
