Boris
Kolonitskii has done more than any other scholar to explore the political
culture of the Russian Revolution of 1917. Here, in sparkling detail, he
reveals the democratic hopes, ideas and illusions that attached themselves
to the propaganda image of Alexander Kerensky, the “first love of the
revolution”, whose dramatic rise and fall from grace personified the
revolution’s destiny. This is the work of a master scholar which demands to
be widely read.’ |
