# Selected Articles on Russia: History, Description and Politics

An audiobook by Clara Elizabeth Fanning, read by LibriVox volunteers (16 h 21 min, English).

In 1917, events in Russia dominated global headlines as World War I gave way to revolution and communists seized control of the country. As the war dragged on, the public watched their worst fears about socialism come to life. To help readers make sense of the unfolding chaos, publisher H.W. Wilson commissioned editor Clara Manning to compile a timely collection of magazine articles capturing every side of the crisis and Russia's path to revolution. - Summary by Ted Lienhart
