4º British: Russian Revolution - 100 Years Later

Here are three short essays about the Russian Revolution from Smithsonian Magazine. They are written by Dr. Carolyn Harris, professor of History at the University of Toronto, USA.

The first essay in the series, "What You Need to Know First to Understand the Russian Revolution," is specially important because it reviews the domestic and foreign policy of Tsar Nicholas and Russia's involvement in World War I.

Besides, because this is the year of the centenary, there are several conmemorative activities, avents and speeches. For example, the International Committee of the Fourth International's series of lectures on the centenaryof the Russian Revolution will be broadcast on the WSWS.

If you are really into this particular topic on the syllabus, this is a good oportunity. Enjoy the visit!
