Passados cem anos, a Revolução Russa continua um acontecimento decisivo para compreender o século XX e o tempo em que vivemos. Levou à implantação do regime comunista, abriu caminho para a criação da União Soviética e, por consequência, moldou boa parte da geopolítica até os dias de hoje. Com erudição e objetividade, Sheila Fitzpatrick, uma das maiores autoridades do mundo no tema, narra a saga da revolução marxista que buscava derrubar o estado czarista e sonhava transformar a Rússia e o mundo.

This book explores why there is a major war again in Europe. Putin's actions need to be understood if not forgiven. With the Ukraine conflict seen as a proxy war of NATO versus Russia, how likely is the fighting to spread?
