I just want to say how much I love the book covers Iskra puts out there. I bought it because I’m interested in the material but I also bought How Paris Made the Revolution and the Revolution Made Paris because the cover art was so good. I also love their commitment to hardcovers.

There has never been any mention of these 17 million victims where I live. No mention of Jeltsins bombing of the parliamentary building, nothing whatsoever. And here I am, in 2025 reading this and I feel so betrayed, disgusted and honestly dirty. Dirty and complicit for cheering on this crime.
The fall of the Soviet Union has been the greates tragedy of all time. The ripples of it are in the violence we now witness every day. It breaks my heart.
