probably the best primary source you can get on the subject, at least in english. its total accuracy is semi debatable in a few particulars but I imagine that wasnt quite the point in delivering such a specific measure of the vibes during the resolution. you get anecdotes and conversations of how normal people were reacting to these world-shaking events. Also, you get a pretty healthy collection of official decrees notices speeches etc made by the bolsheviks as more reliable primary sources for reference. its marred here and there by some iffy old american language but worth a read for its triumphant account of this beautiful shitstorm
