Chaos and Comedy in the Russian Revolution

This chapter humorously recounts the absurdities of the storming of the Winter Palace and the subsequent rise of Lenin and the Bolsheviks during the October Revolution. It highlights the chaotic dynamics between revolutionary leaders and ironically juxtaposes their meetings with the urgent nature of the political turmoil. Additionally, it explores the strategic decisions made in peace negotiations, the complexities of the Russian Civil War, and the plight of the Romanov family amid the chaos.
