We went with Jim and found it very interesting. After the talk we introduced ourselves to her then walked back over the green bridge and had dinner at Jim's, stayed overnight and had breakfast in Ipswich with Em before loading the rest of the shed into the Impreza. Home by 10 am for Dick's violin lesson.
Jim left early to pick up Mike, Paul and Julie from Coolangatta airport, with an early morning wait at Kirra beach thrown in.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. How should it be remembered today? Interpretation of the Russian Revolution has always been politically contentious, in the West as in the Soviet Union and its successor states. But the centenary, coming only a few decades after the collapse of Communist regimes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, finds Western scholars at a loss – and in Putin’s Russia is an outright embarrassment. In this talk, Professor Sheila Fitzpatrick will survey past and present interpretative controversies about the Russian Revolution.
