Description

Russian politics is fast destabilising. Strikes, assassinations, and famines have made Russia increasingly turbulent at the turn of the century. Revolutionary politics is on the rise, as is dissatisfaction with the tsar. When compounded by the strains of the defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, the nation stands on the verge of implosion. And on Europe’s horizon is the Great War… Listen as William and Anita are joined by the great Antony Beevor to discuss the build-up to the revolution and the events of February 1917.
