CLF 2022: Russia: Revolution and Civil War with Antony Beevor and Margaret MacMillan

Russia: Revolution and Civil War with Antony Beevor and Margaret MacMillan debuted on-screens during the 2022 Charleston Literary Festival. The four years of civil war in Russia (1917-1921) shook the world, reshaped Eastern Europe, and set the stage for conflicts whose consequences we are still living with today. In his gripping historical narrative, renowned British historian Antony Beevor conveys the drama of the civil war through the eyes of the people involved – the Czar, cavalry officers, doctors, workers on the streets, ordinary citizens – in a superb re-telling that illuminates and reframes that crucial period. He discusses the impact of the revolution and civil war on the conflagration in Europe with Margaret MacMillan, Emeritus Professor of International History, University of Oxford.
