The sole voice of reason among the advisers to Tsar Nikolai II, Stolypin died at the hands of the anarchist Mordko Bogrov, and with him perished Russia's last hope for reform. Translated by H.T. Willetts. \u003ci\u003eAugust 1914\u003c\/i\u003e is the first volume of Solzhenitsyn's epic, \u003ci\u003eThe Red Wheel;\u003c\/i\u003e the second is \u003ci\u003eNovember 1916.\u003c\/i\u003e Each of the subsequent volumes will concentrate on another critical moment or \"knot,\" in the history of the Revolution.
