| History & Geography | Europe |
In the early spring of 1917, as the First World War stretched on and Tsar Nicholas II's abdication sent shock waves across Europe, the future leader of the Bolshevik revolution, Vladimir Lenin was far away, exiled in Zurich. When the news reached him, Lenin immediately resolved to return to Petrograd and lead the revolt.
In Lenin on the Train, renowned historian Catherine Merridale provides a riveting account of his enormously consequential railway journey across Europe as well as the underground conspiracy and subterfuge that went into making it happen. Drawing on eyewitness testimonies and wartime archives, she brings to life a world of counterespionage and intrigue, wartime desperation, illicit finance, and misguided utopianism. The moment of Lenin's arrival at Petrograd's Finland Station, vividly reconstructed in Merridale's account, was the moment when the Russian revolution became Soviet - and a new system of tyranny and faith was born that would forever change the world.
