Russian History: Disasters, Famines, and Dictators (4 in 1)

This book consists of 4 titles, which are about the following topics:

Chernobyl - On April 26, 1986, the world witnessed one of the gravest technological disasters in human history: the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe. Occurring at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant's No. 4 reactor in Pripyat, then part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, the event not only claimed lives but also left a legacy of environmental and human suffering that persists to this day.

The Holodomor - The Holodomor, also known as the Terror-Famine (meaning 'to kill through starving' in Ukrainian) or The Great Famine, was a devastating man-made disaster that struck Soviet Ukraine between 1932 and 1933. It resulted in the deaths of millions of Ukrainians, with the word "Holodomor" specifically highlighting the purposeful nature of the famine.

Tsar Nicholas II - Nicholas II, or Nikolai II Alexandrovich Romanov (18 May [O.S. 6 May] 1868 – 17 July 1918), was the last Emperor of Russia, reigning from 1 November 1894 to 15 March 1917. Revered as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer in the Russian Orthodox Church, he also held the titles of King of Congress Poland and Grand Duke of Finland. His reign marked the end of the Romanov dynasty's 304-year rule over Russia.

Vladimir Lenin - Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, known by his revolutionary name Lenin, was a pivotal figure in Russian history and a key architect of the Soviet Union. Born on April 22, 1870, in Simbirsk, Russia, Lenin came from an upper-middle-class family. His life and legacy are closely intertwined with the establishment of the first socialist state in the modern world.
