Why Victory of the Bolsheviks in Russia Was Inevitable? Valdai Talks with Dr. Orlando Figes

The world is approaching to the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution - the event that along with the American War of Independence and the Great French Revolution radically changed the world. As there is no more justice now, can we expect a social unrest of similar scale? Why the victory of the Bolsheviks in Russia was inevitable? Were the October Revolution and 70 years of the Communist experiment in Russia imposed from abroad, or internal reasons played a key role in those dramatic events? Dr. Orlando Figes, well-known British historian and expert on the revolutionary and post-revolutionary Russia, discusses these issues in the Valdai Talks series.
