Wallace reviews three publications on the continuities, causes and personalities of Revolutionary Russia. | | | In a combination of survey and analysis, he looks first at the continuity between pre- and post-Revolutionary Russia – the bureaucracy, the patriotism, and arguably the imperialism – which has raised the question why there was a revolution at all. | | | More importantly, the septuagenarian Soviet Union, under Gorbachev's leadership, seems to have embarked upon a massive programme of reshaping its present and, in the process, of re-examining its past. |
