Burned by the revolution: essays. Ikonnikov-Galitsky A.

The book “Burned by the Revolution” tells about the paradoxical destructive-creative essence of the Russian revolution, reflected in the fate of historical characters. It is composed of comparative biographies of the heroes of the revolutionary era - public figures, politicians, revolutionaries, terrorists, cultural figures, and religious figures - for whom the revolution has become the starting point and (or) the tragic crown of biography. The revolution combined their fate in inextricable unity, in the contrasts of creativity and murder, destruction and creation. Following them, the reader passes through the circles of the revolutionary hell to the light of the coming.
