Synopsis

There was a general rejoicing when the regime of Tsar Nicholas II fell in February 1917, a new era of liberty dawned.

Armando Borghi tells of a meeting with Victor Serge.* Jack Wilkens wrote a series of articles for the French journal Le Libertaire. They tell of how Soviets functioned, of how workers live, of working conditions for men and women and of rural life
