When you know the story but click anyway

The defeat of the Russian army during the First World War was brilliantly portrayed in the 1971 film "Nicholas and Alexandra". At the end of the first part of the film, the soldiers in Saint Petersburg salute the Tsar and march to the front in a very epic scene full of patriotism and pride, which ends with the patriotic music slowly fading out and the screen going dark, but the sound of military footsepts is still heard for a while in a concerning haunting way. After the intermission, we only watch from this point military commanders taking their own lives, teenagers and old men on the front lines, and soldiers killing their superiors just to eat a rabbit in peace instead of fighting the germans.

There was no “humiliating defeat” of Russia in WWI under the Tsar. It wasn’t until *after* the February Revolution that the Germans began to advance deep into the country. Tsarist Russia (like France and Britain in the west) fought Germany to a stalemate, while absolutely DEMOLISHING Austria-Hungary (read about Brusilov) and the Ottoman Empire. The imperial record in WWI is a solid one.

While Russia couldn’t keep up that casualty rate, neither could the Austrians, and that offensive effectively marked the end of Austria’s active involvement in the war. Their mere existence at that point was thanks solely to Germany. And Russia was still gearing up for a spring 1917 offensive. The offensive that *did* happen after the monarchy collapsed failed because of catastrophic political and military leadership, not a lack of manpower.

The Russian Army was NEVER defeated Lenin and his Bolshevik traitors made a deal with the Germans to end Russia's role in the Conflict. The army was NOT beaten.

This is a great video. One little error, it is mentioned that Bloody Sunday of January 1905 took place in Petrograd. It took place in Saint Petersburg, which was renamed Petrograd after the start of World War I in August 1914, because Russia was at war against Germany and "Petersburg" sounded too German. As we know Petrograd, cradle of the Great Socialist October Revolution, was renamed Leningrad after Lenin's death in 1924.

So sad that the people and the Bolsheviks fell for socialism. After the Bolsheviks took charge, FAR more people would die of starvation and political repression at their hands than ever did by the hand of the monarchs. Something like 5-10 million people died due to socialism, whereas less than one million ever died due to the monarchy. Socialism doesn't work, even if it's implemented peacefully by the way. Bernie Sanders shouldn't be famous, and we can truly leave socialism on the ash heap of history.

Of all the portrayals of the fall of Nicholas II, the best of all is, without any doubt, the one depicted in the 1974 miniseries "Fall of Eagles", in which Lenin is brilliantly played by Patrick Stewart. In this version, Nicholas, after silently signing his abdication, proceeds to look out the window of the train in which he lives and makes the sign of the cross, knowing how much he failed, not only himself, but also his entire family. This scene is the last of the entire miniseries in which a Romanov is seen.

The Bolsheviks actually had massive support in the two biggest cities, Petrograd and Moscow. It wasn't just a coup from a small military rebellion, they held an absolute majority in the Petrograd Soviet, and 40% (I believe) in the Moscow Soviet just prior to the October revolution. The Duma at this point was non-existent, the actual power was in the hands of the Petrograd Soviet during the reign of the Prov government. Either way, the Soviets would gain power in any event, wheter it was under the leadership of the Bolsheviks or the Soc revolutionairies.

As a Soviet studies historian I appreciate the fact that you obviously tried your best to not caricature a very complicated series of events, but you still (probably not intentionally) repeat a few common myths. For example: The original Bolshevik-Menshevik split was not into multiple parties, and there were other factions. Many people also crossed back and forth between factions over time, and there was both collaboration and conflict in different contexts. The final split into two parties was in 1912, but even this is a little misleading because outside of the major cities many of the party cells remained de facto unified until the revolution. It's not wrong exactly, but your characterization of the origins of the RSDWP and Social Revolutionary Party is potentially misleading. The RSDWP and Social Revolutionaries were successors to the Emancipation of Labour Group (specifically its Iskra faction, including its founder Plekhanov) and the Narodniki, respectfully. The Narodniki were non-Marxist (though they admired Marx) Socialists inspired by the ideas of Alexander Herzen and other revolutionary intellectuals, and who thought the traditional peasant commune could be a basis for building Communism without going through capitalism first. The Social Revolutionary Party was founded by Narodniki who advocated political action to achieve their goals, in contrast to the factions that advocated terrorism, which were mostly destroyed by repression. Emancipation of Labour was formed by Plekhanov and other former Narodniki who believed Russia had already started to develop capitalism, and subscribed to Marx's view on socialism coming out of proletarian revolution, and not one led by peasants. RSDWP was founded by a majority of the Emancipation of Labour group, because the goal of the former had always been to set the groundwork for a unified party. Your characterization of the July Days and the Bolshevik return to popularity glosses over a lot. Part of the reason that July Days were a disaster is that they were spontaneous demonstrations by workers against the provisional government doubling down on the war. The Bolshevik leadership actually advocated caution, but joined the spontaneous demonstrations out of a sense of duty even though they thought they were ill advised. The return of the Bolsheviks to legality and popularity is also hard to understand without talking about the Kornilov affair. It's heavily debated if Kerensky was in on the plot and merely lost control of it, but the monarchist general Kornilov was advancing on Petrograd, which was taken by almost everyone as a mortal threat to the revolution. The provisional government was forced to rely on the well-organized Bolsheviks to defend the city, which restored their reputation immensely, while showing that the provisional government couldn't defend itself. You've referred to the October Revolution as a "coup". You don't repeat many of the common accusations about the revolution being a conspiracy with no political support (which is often given antisemitic undertones) but the framing of the revolution as a "coup" is still generally avoided in historical literature because it has an inaccurate implication. You have also not connected the insurrection with the Soviet Congress. The insurrection was de facto an affair of the Bolsheviks and their Anarchist and non-party allies, but de jure it was carried out by the Military Revolutionary Committee, an elected body of the Petrograd Soviet, who's Bolshevik majority characterized it as a necessary defensive measure to prevent a counterrevolutionary attack on the Soviet* They then presented it to the Soviet Congress as a fait accompli, and succeeded in getting the seizure approved by the Soviet. You said the Mensheviks and Social Revolutionaries walked out of the Soviet Congress after the insurrection. This is not actually true. The Mensheviks and right-wing of the SRs argued that the executive of the new government should include all parties that were represented in the Soviet, while the Bolsheviks and other groups on the left said they didn't trust the Mensheviks and other parties that had supported the provisional government and might be inclined to support reestablishing it. The Menshevik faction walked out, but most SRs did not, and the ultimate result of the discussion was a coalition of the Bolsheviks with left-wing members of the Social Revolutionary Party which would last until the latter launched an uprising in order to stop the Brest-Litovsk peace. Overall, a good attempt, but I felt compelled to point out some small flaws. Feel free to message me if you'd like some academic sources on the revolution. *They did have legitimate concerns that a counterrevolutionary offensive was coming. In the minutes of the meeting planning the insurrection we see participants reacting to a belief that the provisional government was going to order the local military garrison, which was very radical, to the front in order to bring in more conservative troops who would not support the Soviet.

So sad that the people and the Bolsheviks fell for socialism. After the Bolsheviks took charge, FAR more people would die of starvation and political repression at their hands than ever did by the hand of the monarchs. Something like 5-10 million people died due to socialism, whereas less than one million ever died due to the monarchy. Socialism doesn't work, even if it's implemented peacefully by the way. Bernie Sanders shouldn't be famous, and we can truly leave socialism on the ash heap of history. To see the inherent forces of socialism fail, look at Venezuela from 2010-20. People eating out of trash cans, and losing on average, 20 lbs.

What if German children wear uniforms, carrying flags and attend public gatherings wearing uniforms and weapons or musical instruments or flags wearing a heart shape of the German flag on the triceps?

Nothing about parvus, and the fact that Lenin-blank lived more than 10 years abroad before the revolution, or that Karl Marx’ grave is in London, as if it was a Russian revolution, not Jewish… Alexander Lvovich Parvus, born Israel Lazarevich Gelfand (8 September 1867 - 12 December 1924) and sometimes called Helphand in the literature on the Russian Revolution, was a Marxist theoretician, publicist, and controversial activist in the Social Democratic Party of Germany.

Why are there so many BLOODY SUNDAYS?

In western society sunday it's the week rest day and also the day to praise your God in religion. Except in Iran wich is on Friday and for Jews on Saturday. Meaning there's more people available to get around to listen your message or to take action (eg: in church or in the central square of the settlement). Keep in mind that in those days the message was spread tro priests, speakers, politicals (eg: King, Party Leaders, Union Leaders, etc.) and/or messagers (or go-betweens) to an analphabet population (who don't know how to read) and who doesn't have acess to information like nowadays. Even nowadays there's analphabetic people in our society's (eg: 5% in Brazil, 3% in Portugal, etc.).

If Lenin had failed in his attempt or Marks just didn't write his book - the spartacist wouldn't have tried to take control of Germany because the spartacists wouldn't have existed so the freikorps would have just become the normal military in Germany because Hitler (without anti communist support) could never of turned the freikorps into the SA so Hitler would be stuck in a dead end and would have just failed. So in this different world Italy without the support of Nazi Germany could not have stood a chance in Africa and Japan would be too scared to attack America so America would see no need to make the nuclear bomb because world war II wouldn't of happened in an alternate world that is what if communism had failed. Other things that wouldn't of happened: The cold war, the Cuban missile crisis, the Chinese culture war, the Korean war, the Ukrainian famine and conflict, the Palestine and Israel conflict

Yes, in reality it was a coup d'état. The Bolsheviks lost the elections in 1917 and, in order to gain political power, carried out a coup d'état. After gaining absolute power, they carried out a propaganda campaign to rewrite history, calling it "revolution", with the aim of better "selling" and exporting their political ideology. This video is proof that they were successful in this political propaganda campaign to rewrite history, since at no point in this video is it mentioned neither the elections nor the terror that the Bolsheviks imposed on the country with the creation of the first Gulag, in 1918. , in Solovki by order of Lenine, to exterminate all opponents of his ideology.
