Imperialist War and the Bolsheviks
Articles related to the First World War is based on the Russian originals written in the book “Imperialist wars and Bolsheviks” Yakelova dated 1924, and “Anniversary of World War”, by Ohitovich dated 1925.
Any existing translation of articles has been compared with the new translation and revised if and when it was deemed necessary.
Book has documents and articles in two sections, 1st WW and 2nd WW. Both wars were imperialist but with distinctive characteristics of each. That is why it is important to read and understand the attitude differences in each war.
As always, this book has no copyrights, shared free for interested readers.
It is a compilation of articles we researched, translated, read, and found important for others to read.
