The book "Black Shadows of the Red City" is dedicated to one of the most dramatic periods in the history of St. Petersburg, Petrograd, and Leningrad, and in the history of Russia—the years of the Revolution and Civil War (1917–1922). Renowned St. Petersburg historian, publicist, and poet Andrzej Ikonnikov-Galitsky recounts life in Petrograd in the first post-revolutionary years: how it coped with the rampant crime that engulfed the city, the political forces and leaders who inspired the criminal underworld, and the struggle against counterrevolutionary elements that led to the Red Terror. The author focuses on the difficult, sometimes adventure-novel-like, fates of the ideologists of the Red and White movements, whose activities were inseparable from politics and crime. The book draws on extensive material—court and police records, research, and archival sources—and is intended for anyone interested in Russian history.
