1917: Free History, an innovative new project that lets you experience the leadup to the Russian Revolution in the form of a social media feed, has now launched in English.

As on the Russian version of the site, the English-language feed uses historical records, letters, newspaper extracts and fascinating images to provide a well-rounded and immersive look at the events of 1917, seen from the perspective of historical figures.

Social media stalking just got educational!
