Summary: "Journal d'une Comédienne Française sous la Terreur Bolchevik, 1917-1918" by Pax is a historical account documenting a French actress's experiences in Russia during the tumultuous period of the Bolshevik Revolution. Written in the early 20th century, the narrative is crafted from the personal journal of the author, providing a vivid portrayal of life amid chaos and political upheaval. The book delves into the intersection of art, politics, and the day-to-day struggles faced by those living through revolutionary changes, reflecting on the broader historical implications of this time. The opening of the journal introduces the reader to Paulette Pax, who recounts her experiences at the Théâtre Michel in Petrograd as political tensions rise following the assassination of the controversial figure Raspoutine. Initially focused on her interactions with the Russian aristocracy and the theater's operations, the tone shifts to highlight the growing unrest among the populace as they grapple with food shortages and the consequences of war. With a sense of foreboding, the narrative gradually evolves into a chronicling of the chaos and violence surrounding her, illustrating not only the surreal struggle to maintain normalcy through theatrical performances but also the stark contrasts between social classes during a time of national crisis.
