Ebook: One who survived: The life story of a Russian under the Soviets

THIS BOOK IS, in my opinion, the most important that could be written on the socialist experiment in Russia. Barmine is the sole man left in the world who can relate, and dares to, with the authority of theoretic understanding, intimate and diversified experience, unbroken morale, irreproachable integrity, and scientific detachment, the inside story of that experiment from the revolution to the great purge. He is the only man left to weigh in the scales of civilized intelligence the results as seen from the inside and the method as actually applied.
