Revolutions do not happen suddenly, empires do not die out of the blue. The main lesson we can learn from the 1917 revolution is to understand why the emperor and his entourage, in an environment that demanded radical internal reforms, not only did not dare to undertake these reforms, but, on the contrary, tried with all their might to reverse the country's development by increasing reliance on "traditional values," Orthodoxy and the army.
Chapter by chapter, through the living stories of people, in the book "The Empire Must Die" Mikhail Zygar shows how the empire is steadily moving towards disaster and why nothing can save it.
The protagonist of this book is Russian civil society. It emerges in the early years of the twentieth century, develops before the reader's eyes and disappears soon after 1917. By learning the chronicle of events of a century ago, the reader can understand what is happening today and try to look into the future
