Radical Ideology in the Russian Revolution
註釋Whenever huge events like wars and revolutions occur it often seems, in retrospect, that the preceding events have been inevitably leading to the final result and no possible others. This is generally not the case, however, and it certainly is not the case in Russia during the Revolutions of 1917. The events preceding this certainly helped the outcome, but they did not prescribe it, preventing another outcome. End results are often just the final product of a series of unrelated, oft-times contradictory, events. It is only in retrospect that the preceding events fall together and then only with the help of twenty-twenty hindsight and omission.
