Seller's Description:
Pittsburgh. 2017. November 2017. University of Pittsburgh Press. 1st American Edition. Very Goodin Dustjacket. 9780822945161. Pitt Russian East European. 50 b&w illustrations. 544 pages. hardcover. keywords: History Russia Autobiography. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Vladimir Fedorovich Dzhunkovsky was a witness to Russia's unfolding tragedy-from Tsar Alexander II's Great Reforms, through world war, revolution, the rise of a new regime and finally, his country's descent into terror under Stalin. But Dzhunkovsky was not just a passive observer-he was an active participant in the troubled and turbulent events of his time, often struggling against the tide. Highly readable, Overtaken by Night captivates on many levels. It is a gripping biography of a man of many faces, a behind-the-curtain look at the inner workings of Russian politics at its highest levels, and a chronicle of history as it unfolded. Throughout his life, Dzhunkovsky served as a confidant in the tsar's imperial court, a governor in Moscow province during the 1905 revolution, and as the empire's security chief in 1913, with a mandate to reform the practices of the Okhrana. Dismissed from office for his opposition to Rasputin, his path then led him to the trenches of the First World War where he experienced battle and then revolution in 1917. Arrested in 1918 and imprisoned until 1921, Dzhunkovsky became a former person while writing his memoirs. Although he later consulted for the Soviet secret police, he was tried and executed in 1938 as an enemy of the state. Based on Dzhunkovsky's memoirs and supplemented by extensive archival research, Overtaken by Night is the first English-language biography of Vladimir Dzhunkovsky. It paints a fascinating picture of an important figure whose incredible life reveals so much of a long and crucial period in Russian history. inventory # 44647.
