Hi, comrades.

Some time ago I finished “The Empire Must Die”, by Zygar, an interesting book about the history of the early 20th century Russian Empire leading to the Russian Revolution, that covers the period until the October Revolution.

Although very unambiguously anti-bolshevist, the book provides a rather good recount of the historical events that led to the Russian Revolution, and the most important people within the revolution (sadly with an emphasis towards liberals like the Cadets, or the Socialist Revolutionaries who were more utopian than scientific socialists).

Now I’m interesting on reading about the history, or possibly the evolution of the institutions and the form of government, from 1917 to the death of Lenin. Is there any book you gorgeous people can recommend me about that time period?

Thanks a bunch!
