Books with title The Russian Revolution

What would you do if you had to obey your owners and never do what you feel like? A group of dogs, frustrated for not having freedom, decides to run away in search of independent life. Mimi, a small poodle, is happy with her owner and doesn´t want to take part in that. But something comes up and everything changes. The Dogs’ Revolution gets the dogs living by themselves, facing dangers and enemies in the woods. Will they be able to hunt? Will they get on, although they are so different from each other? As they try to find the best way to survive in this new environment, there is plenty of adventure, romance, and humor. Illustrated.

1917 - and the Russian people can endure no more. Provoked by military disaster, economic chaos, and centuries of cruel repression, peasants, workers, soldiers, and Cossacks unite to destroy the detested Romanov dynasty. The fumbling Czar, his corrupt ministers, his incompetent generals, his savage secret police, his fanatic wife, his weird advisor the monk of Rasputin - all are swept away by the wrath of the people. But what will replace them? Nervous liberals, outraged monarchists, and socialists all vie for supreme power. But basing their tactics on a century of revolutionary thought, the disciplined Bolsheviks, led by Lenin and Trotsky, outguess and outmaneuver their rivals at every turn. Embittered by months of ferocious civil strife, the Russian people decide to "break a new path into the future" - a path which changes the history not only of Russia but of the entire world.
