Revoluție și minciună

Rate this book
Scriitorul periculos pentru regimul sovietic și autorul unor reflecții asupra revoluției ca fenomen sunt două ipostaze soljenițiene pe care le relevă paginile de publicistică incluse în prezentul volum: un apel disperat — Să nu trăim în minciună! — finalizat în chiar ziua arestării lui Alexandr Soljenițîn de către autoritățile sovietice (și cu o zi înainte de a fi deportat), care îndeamnă la curaj civic în vremuri profund ostile; și două articole care oferă o cheie de înțelegere a sensului unor mari transformări istorice declanșate odată cu revoluția rusă din februarie 1917.

O carte scurtă,dar care te provoacă să descoperi mai multe despre Rusia începutului de secol XX.
Autorul vorbește despre evenimentele care au marcat țara în anul 1917 și compară revoluția rusă și revoluția franceză ,pe tot parcursul cărți având un ton revoltător ,dar cumva resemnat.

Short, condensed writing with a relatively cumbersome style but captivating subject matter that offers a fair, honest perspective on post-revolutionary Russian society, the conditions that led to the fall of Tsarism, and the crazy way in which this happened. The first part is the desperate cry of a Russian intellectual, exasperated by the Potemchian society in which he lives and the ease with which it accepts to live in a lie. The second part is an empirical analysis of the context in which the Bolshevik revolution broke out, of the weakness and impotence of Tsar Nicholas II and the system of power he patronized, of the degringolade that accompanied the change of regime and the absurd way in which the empire ceded power to a undefined and disorderly gangs of proletarian agitators. It provides more understanding of the Bolshevik revolution than you can find in well-written histories of Russia and sharpens your sense of revolt knowing that what happened there held back the development of the neighboring peoples for decades. It is well worth reading.
