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 More information: https://librivox.org/petrograd-the-city-of-trouble-1914-1918-by-meriel-buchanan/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/) |
