Doomsday 1917: the Destruction of Russia's Ruling Class
by Douglas Brown
published by G. P. Putnams' Sons, 1976
hardcover in good used condition
Doomsday 1917: The Destruction of Russia's Ruling Class by Douglas Brown offers a concise yet detailed account of the events leading to the overthrow of the Tsarist government in 1917 and the subsequent eradication of Russia's longstanding ruling class. Drawing from contemporary sources and personal accounts of insiders and foreign embassy personnel, Brown illustrates how the once-opulent aristocracy faced sudden dispossession, exile, or execution as the Bolsheviks consolidated power. The narrative highlights the rapid inversion of the social order, with former elites unable to flee due to World War I's constraints, and the swift dismantling of institutions like the Tsarist secret police. The book serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of entrenched power structures in the face of revolutionary upheaval.
