| Summary | "The Red Reign: The True Story of an Adventurous Year in Russia" by Kellogg Durland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This narrative chronicles the tumultuous events surrounding the Russian Revolution, particularly focusing on a pivotal year marked by insurrections and escalating violence. The author, as an American journalist, aims to provide an eyewitness perspective of the social and political upheavals, coupled with the experiences of those caught in the struggle, including Cossacks and revolutionaries. At the start of the book, the author reflects on the political unrest in Russia following the events of 1905, known as the White Terror, setting a stage filled with tension and despair. He describes his journey into Russia from Berlin, detailing the unease and warnings he receives regarding the risks within the country. Upon entering St. Petersburg, he encounters a mix of revolutionary fervor and the appearance of calm in the capital. Through vivid anecdotes and interactions with various Russian citizens, including soldiers and revolutionaries, he immerses readers into the complex social dynamics and the constant threat of government crackdowns.
