I am finishing up Anna Larina's (Bukharin's wife) memoirs, and I am wondering if there are any other memoirs by Old Bolsheviks that are worth reading. Of course there is Trotsky's My Life, though I am sure that has its problems given his quest to clear his name in the Moscow show trials. I am very interested in reading firsthand accounts of the Bolshevik leaders from 1917 through World War II. I realize most of these people were executed, and those that survived would like write to either justify their crimes or absolve themselves. But Kremlin life during this time interests me, so even suggestions of works of history that provide substantial excerpts of primary sources would be much appreciated.
Anastas Mikoyan comes to mind; he wrote memoirs and was one of the longest-lived Old Bolsheviks and was a remarkable figure according to his contemporaries.
