The Russian Revolution was the most transcendental event of the twentieth century.
The assault on the Winter Palace in Petrograd in October 1917 was experienced as the unexpected materialization of a long-pursued utopia: that of the occupation of power by the proletariat and the construction of a new classless society.
The event spurred consciousness, and broadened the expectations of the popular classes.
The book that is presented is devoted to studying this event and its consequences, the evolution of the world emerged from it and the myth and memory of the revolution is now consecrated 1917.
