Sorokin—from the February Revolution right through to his departure from Russia in September 1922. This is the enlarged edition published almost 30 years after the first 1924 publication and contains the additional section, “Thirty Years After,” in which the author describes how the Revolution that has since come of age has turned out to be simultaneously “a gigantic success and a colossal failure.” A fascinating read.
