I'm used to fiction where one character is always at the focus.

PDFs and audio would help. I not good at finding them.

Unironically, Trotsky's autobiography "My Life" is heavy on personal details and relatively light in theory while also going over the entire Russian Revolution. Obviously he comes from a unique perspective which you might not agree with, but his overall depiction of events leading up to the creation of the USSR is pretty accurate. And Trotsky 100% writes like he is the main character, so it will probably fit your needs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3YxJpw8KI
