This is a vivid picture of life in Soviet Russia during the civil war, through the eyes of Lenin’s longstanding political rival, the leading Menshevik Fedor Dan. It is the first translation into any language of Dan’s memoir, written and published in Russian in 1922.
‘Fedor Dan’s memoir of life in Soviet Russia at the close of the Civil War and beginning of the New Economic Policy provides a fascinating and immensely rich account of that time. … Francis King has provided a superb translation and introduction, and this book deserves to be read by anyone interested in the fate of the Russian Revolution a century ago.’ – Dr James Ryan, Lecturer in Modern European History, Cardiff University
