It seeks to explain its debilitating internal tensions and to link these to the pressures exerted by Russia's repeated failure in war and by the empire's continuing expansion. Lastly, it analyzes what lead to Russia being governed, only eight months after the collapse of Tsarism, by the Bolsheviks' revolutionary regime.
