Richard Pipes's authoritative history of the "violent and disruptive acts" that created the first modern totalitarian regime portrays the crisis at the heart of the tsarist empire. Drawing on archival materials newly released in Russia, he chronicles the upheaval that began as a conservative revolt but was soon captured by messianic intellectuals intent not merely on reforming Russia but on remaking the world. He provides fresh accounts of the revolution's personalities and policies, crises, and cruelties, from the murder of the royal family through civil war, famine, and state terror. Brilliantly and persuasively, Pipes shows us why the resulting system owes less to the theories of Marx than it did to the character of Lenin and Russia's long authoritarian tradition. What ensues is a path-clearing work that is indispensable to any understanding of the events of the century.… (mere)

Wonderful but so very sad. A very readable, though still academic, book that gave some excellent insights into the Russian psyche as well as direct history of the country and Communist movement. ( )

I had wanted to read a good history of the Russian Revolution, but I really couldn't make it through this one. This work might be considered a "classic," but Pipes' pro-Tsarist ideology is just too much to overcome. The one benefit of reading this book (or at least the first couple of chapters or so) is that I recognized pre-Revolution Russia as the exemplar state for 21st-century American conservatives. I.e., the government elite controls foreign policy and economic policy, and the people live in a libertarian paradise. Not of course that Pipes doesn't find some fault with Tsarist policy--but the only appropriate faults are those he personally objects to, not the ones that the Russian people objected to.
