March days of 1917. Melgunov S.P.

The Publishing House "Veche" continues the release of the works of a wonderful Russian historian who emigrated from the country after the revolution, Sergei Petrovich Melgunov (1879-1956). The author graduated from the book "March Days of 1917" during the Second World War. Part of the book was published in 1950- 1954. In the emigrant newspaper Renaissance, and she completely saw the light in Paris in 1961. Like the other works of Melgunov, this book is primarily striking in a scrupulous analysis of the widest circle of sources that were available to the historian.

Restoring the Chronicle of the February Revolution literally by the hour, he not only raised the entire layer of published documents and memories, but also personally interviewed dozens of events, starting this work in Russia (before expulsion in 1922) and continuing In exile. The result was a fascinating study in which not only the “living chronicle” of the March days is seething, but also numerous myths are scattered, freely or involuntarily created by participants in the past events.
