1966258 pages. "On the adbication of Nicholas II Russia's new rulers found themselves confronted by a host of problems, two of which were particularly urgent. What was to be the new government's relationship to its rival in power, the Petrograd Soviet, and what was to be its position on the war and on the aims for which Russia was fighting? To a large degree the answer to the first question depended on the Provisional Government's response to the second. This in turn depended on a third: how did the Tsar's successors conceive of Russia's role and place in Europe? Expressed in the terms of 1917, should the nation still struggle for Constantinople and the reassertion of Russian preponderance in the Balkans? Or should the Russian people fight now only in defense of the revolution and for the democratic principles it proclaimed?" - from Abstract.

1947331 pages including index. "A picture of Russia today which does not include a description of labor camps and exile is not a true picture; often it is deliberately misleading. The forced labor system of Soviet Russia is not the invention of a diabolic mind; neither is it a temporary anomaly nor a tumor on the body easily removed. The system is an organic element, a normal component, of the social structure... This book seeks to present the natural history of forced labor in Soviet Russia: the first feeble experiments, the successes and failures, the gradual development of the widely ramified system; the early ideas, and the mutations in ideology from humanitarianism to mercilessness." - from preface.
