The Bolshevik Club
About
Dovima and her family stood for education and decency. The ultimate goal for those forming the Bolshevik movement was to terminate the untouchable status of the nobility, specifically the privileges of the nobility.
This new movement was not peasant uproar, but the action of a rising elite—merchants, bankers, writers, skilled, highly gifted men of letters whose aim was to dismantle the nobility. Bolshevism was to be the people’s revolution, begun in Germany, specifically Berlin. To follow was the Workmen and Soldiers’ Revolution, and when that ended came the Comrades’ Revolution of the Bolsheviks, who came to be known for the taking of personal property. This slight variance caused strife amongst their leaders, which would someday bring an end to Bolshevism.
Praise for this book
This is an exceptional reading for a try at writing historical fiction with a Russian flair for the 'red group' who took over during the month of October and longer if one is to read this story of Dovima. Her love for her father and country; what she cared mostly about was what her father had tried to instill in her; learning economics, and forging a life beyond the land of Russia and she found this in New York in America.
