The Diary of an American Physician in the Russian Revolution 1917 is a memoir written by Orrin Sage Wightman, a physician who served as a volunteer in the American Red Cross during the Russian Revolution. The book provides a first-hand account of the events that took place during this tumultuous time in Russian history, as seen through the eyes of an American observer.The diary covers a period of several months, from the time Wightman arrived in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) in May 1917 until his departure in August of that year. During this time, he witnessed firsthand the chaos and violence that erupted in the wake of the February Revolution, which had overthrown the Tsarist regime and established a provisional government.Wightman's diary provides a detailed account of the political and social upheaval that was taking place in Russia at the time, as well as the impact of the revolution on the lives of ordinary Russians. He describes the shortages of food and other essential goods, the breakdown of law and order, and the rise of radical political movements such as the Bolsheviks.The book also provides insights into the work of the American Red Cross in Russia during this period, including the efforts to provide medical aid and assistance to those affected by the revolution. Wightman's diary is a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on the Russian Revolution and its impact on the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
