Sinopsis

Catherine Radziwill's "Rasputin and the Russian Revolution" presents a gripping exploration of the tumultuous period leading up to the Russian Revolution, intricately weaving political intrigue with the enigmatic life of Grigori Rasputin. Radziwill employs a literary style marked by vivid description and psychological insight, offering readers a nuanced portrait of a man often vilified and misunderstood. The context in which she writes, amid the dramatic upheaval of early 20th-century Russia, allows her to scrutinize not just Rasputin's personal life, but also his pivotal role in the larger historical narrative, set against the backdrop of imperial decadence and national turmoil. Catherine Radziwill, a Polish noblewoman with intimate connections to the Russian monarchy, provides a unique perspective informed by her firsthand observations and experiences in the court. Her aristocratic background and familiarity with both the social elite and the political machinations of the time lend her narrative a rare authenticity. Radziwill's insights into Rasputin's influence and her understanding of the key players involved in the Revolution illustrate why she is a crucial voice in this historical discourse. This book is essential for readers seeking a deeper comprehension of not just Rasputin's life, but the very fabric of Russian society during a pivotal moment in history. Scholars, historians, and general readers alike will find Radziwill's work both enlightening and engaging, making it a vital addition to any collection focused on the Russian Revolution or the complexities of its key figures.

    The State and Revolution (1917), by Vladimir Lenin, describes the role of the State in society, the necessity of proletarian revolution, and the theoretic inadequacies of social democracy in achieving revolution to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat.
    Lenin began the composition of an early draft of State and Revolution while in exile in Switzerland in 1916, under the title "Marxism on the State".
    "Soviets", legislative bodies of workers and peasants were the de facto governments of Petrograd and many smaller cities. The Russian public was deeply upset with the continuation of Russia's involvement in World War One and the continued economic difficulties that it brought on. On November 7th The Congress of Soviets officially elected a coalition of Bolsheviks, Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks to govern. Through the Red Guards, paramilitary organizations of revolutionary workers, sailors and soldiers; the Soviet government was able to storm The Winter Palace and officially abolishing the Provisional government. The revolution was not uniformly accepted among all Russians, resistance and disruption would occur routinely leading up to The Russian Civil War. A particular issue that Lenin covers in The State and Revolution was the right of nations to secession (The right to self determination); during the composition of this book The Mensheviks of Georgia declared independence soon after The Revolution forming The Democratic Republic of Georgia.
    Among other famous Marxists there were also: Georgi Plekhanov, Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Ernst Bloch, Pyotr Kropotkin, Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre, Wilhelm Reich, Perry Anderson.

    Between King Cotton and Queen Victoria recenters our understanding of the Civil War by framing it as a hemispheric affair, deeply influenced by the actions of a network of private parties and minor officials in the Confederacy and British territory in and around North America. John Wilkes Booth likely would not have been in a position to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, for example, without the logistical support and assistance of the pro-Confederate network in Canada. That network, to which he was personally introduced in Montreal in the fall of 1864, was hosted and facilitated by willing colonials across the hemisphere. Many of its Confederate members arrived in British North America via a long-established transportation and communications network built around British colonies, especially Bermuda and the Bahamas, whose primary purpose was running the blockade. It is difficult to overstate how essential blockade running was for the rebellion's survival, and it would have been impossible without the aid of sympathetic colonials. The operations of this informal, semiprivate network were of enormous consequence for the course of the war and its aftermath, and our understanding of the Civil War is incomplete without a deeper reckoning with the power and potential for chaos of these private networks imbued with the power of a state.
