Reports by revolutionaries from 1848 and 1989 show that the intention was not necessarily a political overthrow of the system. For many it was primarily a matter of reforming the existing system rather than establishing a new one. In “Suddenly Revolution,” author Alexandra Bleyer and historian Ilko Sascha Kowalczuk explore what the intentions were before the revolutionary efforts and what the results were. A conversation between revolutionary aspirations and reality that has become reality.
