As I read the the multiple critical reviews bemoaning the author's "bias" against Lenin/Bolsheviks/Communist regime/etc. I simply substitute "Ted Bundy" or "Pol Pot" or "Hitler" or the "Apartheid regime of South Africa" or "Charles Manson". The review then reveals the moral weltanschaung of the reviewer in high relief: "Hey, murderous & genocidal sociopaths need love too."As for conjecture of one negative reviewer that "Pipes would have preferred the corrupt and autocratic Czar still be in power today": Anyone with historical understanding would agree that most of the Absolute Monarchies of Europe & Russia had a great deal of corruption -- as do almost ALL governing institutions throughout human history. And they would agree that a modern person (or an emancipated American of any era) would not likely choose to live under Absolute Monarchy. But a clear Red Line in the Sand can be drawn between the corrupt & autocratic monarchies typifying most of human history vs the GENOCIDAL 20th century communist governments responsible for the deaths of tens & tens of millions of their own people. Lenin & the early Bolsheviks pioneered the model and worked assiduously to spread it globally.For those whose moral worldview does not permit them to understand the difference, European scholars have written "The Black Book of Communism" to thoroughly document this history: The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression
Brilliant. Astonishing scope. For example, what was happening under the new Bolshevik government as WWI drew to a close. The big surprise for me was that the Bolsheviks were just one of numerous Soviets and the way ahead was very much by way of the ballot box, which Lenin did everything to subvert. He packed the various committees, threw out legitimate results when they didn’t go his way, and threatened people with death if they voted against him. The whole story is enormously complex, but Pipes illuminates it by way of a rigorous use of the archival documents. In that respect he reminds me of Simon Sebag Montifiore.
This, the second volume in the authors trilogy, is a detailed description of a relatively brief period. Even so, some events are left to the third volume, consequently sacrificing some sense of chronology. For anyone interested in Russia this book and its companions are an excellent resource. My only reason for laying the book down occasionally was that I needed time to digest the surfeit of information. For example, the reasons for the murder of the royal family were fully explained. The story, though familiar, was made more shocking and reasonable from the Bolshevik point of view. The thesis that the Russian government was indeed patrimonial was further proven by Lenin's concern that the family could serve as a rallying point. Perhaps the chaotic character of events is well defined by the fact that I was left confused concerning things like Kerensky's failure, Rasputin's role, and the Bolshevik view of the peasants. Evidently the author's opinion that there was a Bolshevik coup, not a revolution, is now generally accepted. The book naturally leads the reader into the third volume. I am glad that I read it.
... And, to some limited extent, explained. Disturbingly, similarities to current political activity cannot be ignored. When academic fantasy displaces reality as the foundation of government action, collective insanity is unavoidable.
Even though Pipes covers over 300 years of the Romanov dynasty, he manages to inject an immense amount of intimate detail that reads more like a novel than dry history. His thematic approach is a bit confusing at times and he spends more time on the architecture of St. Petersburg than I thought necessary, but this is a work by a man who clearly loves his subject. Any serious student of Russia MUST read it.
Richard Pipes is a magnificent historian. I've both read his History of Communism and Russia Under the Bolsheviks. His treatment of the Russian Revolution is superb. In my opinion, it's the only book you need to read if you're unfamiliar with the subject. He's almost 90 years old but his perspective remains invaluable concerning the dysfunction of that massive prison state aka the USSR. He's a fine writer and its actually a page turner. The first 200 pages or so outline the dynamics of Tsarist Russia. Much of this I had forgotten from college so it was valuable to me. I've always wondered how the Okhrana allowed the revolution to occur given their reputation. It's interesting to contemplate how any Tsar's policies could have saved the Romanov dynasty. Most probably, the decisions of 1905 are what doomed Tsar Nicholas. Additionally, I know understand why Peter Stolypin is considered one of the greatest Russians in history. During his years, the normal Russian citizen had more freedom than they ever had before or since (at least up until 1990).
A complete history of the Russian Revolution from 1871 through 1920
