Publisher's Synopsis
âThe Russian Bastilleâ offers a detailed account of the Tsarist prison system and its impact on political prisoners in early 20th century Russia. Simon O. Pollock explores the harsh conditions, the arbitrary nature of imprisonment, and the lives of those who challenged the autocratic regime. Drawing on historical records and personal narratives, the book sheds light on the struggles for freedom and justice that ultimately contributed to the Russian Revolution. This compelling historical analysis provides valuable insights into a dark chapter of Russian history.
