Forthcoming Publication on Revolutionary Postcards in Imperial Russia

[tobik]

I am delighted to announce the forthcoming publication of my new book on revolutionary postcards in Imperial Russia, which is out on the 7 November.

Although now little known, picture postcards were the most widespread form of visual propaganda produced during the reign of the last Tsar, and a powerful weapon in the struggle against autocracy.

“Greetings from the Barricades” is the product of extensive archival research in Russia, Europe, and America. Alongside an in-depth text, it contains over 200 colour illustrations – the vast majority previously unpublished.

“Greetings From The Barricades”, which is extensively illustrated, provides an entirely novel perspective on late Imperial Russia. For anybody interested in the history of this fascinating period, the book offers a compelling insight into the politics of this turbulent time, and shines a new light on many different aspects of Nicholas II’s reign and rule.

The in-depth text is based on original documents in the Russian police and censors’ archives, and almost all the 220-plus images are previously unpublished.

The best place to purchase copies is directly from the publisher – please see link below (Amazon is currently more expensive):
