"The Fall of Tsarism reveals to the world for the first time a unique selection of
interviews with leading participants in the February Revolution in Petrograd, sources
that have been hidden for most of a century. Focusing on the pivotal period between
the outbreak of the popular uprising on 27 February 1917 and the fall of the Russian
monarchy five days later, these gripping, plain-spoken testimonies take the reader
directly to the revolutionary headquarters inside the Tauride Palace. The interviews
present wide-ranging perspectives on the events, politics, and personalities of the
February Days from a diverse group of key political figures as well as lesser-known
activists, including: M.V. Rodzianko, the conservative president of the last Imperial
Duma; P.V. Gerasimov, the liberal Duma deputy; N.S. Chkheidze, leading Menshevik and
the first chairman of the Petrograd Soviet; A.F. Kerenskii, the future revolutionary
premier; and M.I. Tereshchenko, the 'repentant capitalist' and Provisional Government
minister. Recorded between 1 May and 7 June 1917, months before the Bolshevik takeover
-at a time when the outcome of the revolution was far from obvious - the interviews
are free of any post-1917 hindsight and represent the most significant contemporary
testimony on the overthrow of Europe's last old regime." -- Publisher's description
