About
An army physician in pre-Communist Russia, Dr. Boris Sokoloff was elected to the democratic Constituent Assembly by the Army's southwestern sector in 1917. As someone active in the Army drives to rid the World War I regiments of their hard-core Communist groups, he was appointed head of the defense committee. The committee had been formed too late, however, and Lenin's Communists overthrew Kerensky's government. Sokoloff was in the middle of this revolutionary violence and turmoil and tells of the fall of the Winter Palace as he witnessed it and of his role in the attempt to assassinate Lenin. Later, attempting to flee across the White Sea, Sokoloff was arrested as an associate of Kerensky. He was condemned to death in notorious Boutyrki Prison, only to relieve a last-minute reprieve.
