I don't really have time to RESEARCH, but I'll certainly know to have wikipedia pulled up for reference if I need it. Mk. Now...hopefully the used book store will have at least one of these... :P


Take a look at the article on the Russian Revolution. It will help. Or on late nineteenth century Russian history. It will help a lot to know why people were unhappy and why there was a revolution. The background stuff is important. And fun. For us to read about.
