1917 and the Consequences

<p>The Russian Revolution of 1917 has been one of the most important events of modern history. It changed the course of the events not only in Russia but on a wider scale across the world while it influenced the flow of history throughout the twentieth century until the fall of the Soviet Union and to some extent well beyond this time.

This book analyses these forces particularly at the European periphery which has been underexplored until this volume.</p>
