Neither by the social and quantitative composition of the participants in those events, nor by the political goals, nor by the scale of what happened, what happened in Petrograd in February 1917 can in no way be considered a people's revolution! In reality, it was a "palace coup" organized by the leaders of the political elite of the Russian Empire. The author is sure of this-a well-known publicist, a member of the White Guard movement, who managed to escape from the GULAG abroad in 1934. Exposing the mechanisms of the "palace coup", the author first of all refutes the myth of the British intrigues that led to it, and does not spare either the left-wing utopian theorists, nor the right - traitors, nor the incompetent "generals from the chancellery" who cleaned the army of honest and loyal Russian military at the beginning of the First World War. The author warns: "The truth about February will be a hard truth..." - and tells how Russia was destroyed both on the right and on the left, and how things actually were. Compiled by Manyagin V. G
