Daria Dvořáková Book order (chronological)

Uznávaný odborník Orlando Figes nezkoumá Říjnovou revoluci jako izolovanou událost, ale jako staletý koloběh násilí s utopickými cíli. Ve vytříbeném a pronikavém díle nabízí nečekaný pohled na známé dění. Ukazuje, že revoluce si uchovávala tytéž idealistické cíle od svého počátku v roce 1891 až do roku 1991, kdy se zhroutil Sovětský svaz, protože až do samého konce sovětští vůdci věřili, že jsou nositeli leninských idejí. Figesův text přináší zásadní změnu v přístupu a vyhodnocení jedné z nejvýznamnějších událostí dvacátého století.
