Catherine Merridale
Russian Days
The inspiring and critically acclaimed British historian Catherine Merridale will launch her latest Lenin on the Train. She follows in Lenins footsteps reliving the journey he made in 1917 from Switzerland (where he lived in exile) to Petrograd through a continent ravaged by war. At Flagey, she will recreate her journey, based on years of research and on her passion for a Russia in transformation. Merridale is also the author of the highly acclaimed The Kremlin.
