The House of Government: A Saga of the Russian Revolution is a 2017 study of the history of the Russian Revolution, the formation of the Soviet Union, and its early history from the days of the New Economic Policy into the early days of Stalinist Rule by the Russian-born American historian Yuri Slezkine.

The book consists of "three strains":[1] "The first is a family saga involving numerous named and unnamed residents of the House of Government."

It looks at the revolution and subsequent Soviet administration through the lens of the millenarian cult and "aims to capture the rise and fall of Bolshevism through a building and its residents, via a study in eschatology – the creation of an apocalyptic cult, its unexpected success, and its equally unexpected failure.

"[1] The work includes a brief preface, three books (each separated into two parts), an epilogue, an appendix providing "a partial list of leaseholders", notes, and an index.

The book received critical praise for its epic scope and storytelling from several outlets, including The New Yorker[4] and The Washington Times.
