Rheta Childe Dorr’s portrayal of her 1917 travel in Russia includes vivid eyewitness reports on political debates, public demonstrations, and conversations with a wide range of cultural leaders. Two especially engaging accounts focus on the Women’s Battalion of Death military unit led by Maria Bochkareva, and the Martha and Mary Convent in Moscow, guided by Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna. —Matthew Lee Miller, PhD, Professor of History, University of Northwestern - St. Paul, St. Paul, Minnesota; Author, The American YMCA and Russian Culture: The Preservation and Expansion of Russian Orthodoxy, 1900-1940. In Inside the Russian Revolution, Rheta Childe Dorr’s fearless reporting bursts back to life through Victoria I. Zhuravleva’s superbly edited edition. Dorr, trailblazing journalist, feminist, and war correspondent, captures the turbulence of 1917 Russia with vivid immediacy and moral clarity. Zhuravleva’s introduction restores Dorr’s voice to its rightful place in history: bold, nuanced, and incandescent. —Steven A Usitalo, Professor and Chair, Department of History and Social Sciences, Northern State University, Aberdeen, USA.
