Petrograd, the City of Trouble, 1914-1918
Meriel Buchanan
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
The author of this work was the daughter of the British ambassador to Russia. She was in St. Petersburg (renamed Petrograd in 1914) from before World War I to after the Bolshevik Revolution, leaving in January 1918. Rather than a dry retelling of the history of this period, the author gives a more personal view of the events, as she lived through them. - Summary by TriciaG (6 hr 55 min)
