The book by American diplomat George Kennan is devoted to the relationship between the two great powers and the establishment of diplomatic ties in the early years of Soviet power. The author recreates in detail the events of 1917-1918 from the point of view of a foreigner, based on diaries, personal and business correspondence of representatives of the diplomatic corps, employees of the embassies of Great Britain and the United States, as well as private individuals caught up in the revolution in Petrograd. Considering the circumstances of Russia's withdrawal from World War I, Kennan talks about diplomatic games aimed at delaying military action, and also reflects the reaction of the West to the change of the political system in Russia and the approval of the Bolshevik government.Further developments are described in the book by J. Kennan's "Decision on Intervention".
