Title: Orlando Figes doesn't sound Russian ... BUT...
Review: Orlando Figes doesn't sound like the name of a Russian hostorian... but ... don't let than fool you. This book ("Interpreting the Russian Revolution: The Language and Symbols of 1917") is the second of Figes's books about the Russian revolution that I have read.The author does an outstanding job drilling into the details and developing 'the backstory' that provides the real color of the events and makes this timespan extremely interesting.
