American journalist and feminist Louise Bryant arrives in Russia two months before the October Revolution, when the old order had collapsed and the new one had not yet been established. She achieves the impossible: she obtains passes from all the warring parties and finds herself on both sides of the barricades. Bryant doesn't write history from a safe distance—she freezes in bread lines, wanders the corridors of the besieged Winter Palace, witnesses street clashes, and is herself shot. She sees how former prisoners become ministers overnight, speaks with soldiers, workers, and revolutionary leaders, capturing the language, fears, and hopes of people on the edge of a historical fault line. "Six Months in Red Russia" is a vivid and impartial report from within the event that changed the history of the 20th century, written at a time when reality had not yet had time to turn into legend.
