Year One of the Russian Revolution by Victor Serge

An eyewitness account of the world-changing uprising—from the author of Memoirs of a Revolutionary.

In Year One of the Russian Revolution, Victor Serge delivers a gripping firsthand chronicle of the Russian Revolution’s first tumultuous year—a time of extraordinary hope, struggle, and transformation. With the honesty and conviction that define his work, Serge captures the heroism of the Soviet democracy’s birth and the tragic beginnings of its decline under repressive forces.

Written in defense of the Revolution’s ideals against those who later distorted them—most notably Stalin—Serge’s account stands as both a tribute and a warning, preserving the spirit of the people who sought to change the world.
