I know that it's meant to be a joke but that was a genuine issue with the bolsheviks consolidating power because while Petrograd had been overtaken twice, there were still community leaders in remote areas put in power to be a puppet to the Tzar. It's also why the Civil war was bloody as it was because no longer was the revolution confined only to the city, it was now country-wide and both the Red and While army had to employ terror in these rural areas so their ideology could spread.

"So he was killed" is probably the most anti-climactic description of Rasputin's death I've ever heard.

Loved the video as I usually do. One small correction towards the end. Lenin's testament was kept a secret by his wife, Krupskaya, and only presented after Lenin's death. Stalin and his allies (Kamenev and Zinoviev) freaked out, but they ultimately found a way to have released uncensored but in a staggered and limited way which allowed Stalin to keep power.

The success of Stalin - the man who used to boast that he conquered the United States "from the plow to the atomic bomb in just a generation" - compared to Gorbachev's failure shows that a socialist economy is unable to function with a minimum of efficiency without requiring a massive dose of political violence. In an attempt to reform a decadent regime, Gorbachev moved faster with the process of economic opening in the hope of removing the predictable resistance that the Soviet bureaucracy would create to economic reform measures, as thorough proof with the failed attempt. coup d'état in August 1991 - which ended up precipitating the final crisis of socialism and the dissolution of the USSR itself Its Chinese parallel - Deng Xiaoping - adopted a logic diametrically opposed to that of Gorbachev: it prioritized the achievement of economic prosperity (adopting in practice capitalism) precisely to delay any attempt at political opening, as was evident with the acceleration of the economy. reforms after the Tiananmen Square massacre. It is important to note that it was Karl Marx himself who, in his Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, discerned the scenario in which the conditions for a social revolution process are formed, describing it as follows: 'At a certain stage in its development, the material productive forces of society contradict existing production relations or - which is only their legal expression - with the property relations in which they have been active until then. From the forms of development of the productive forces, these relations are transformed into fetters of them. So, it is a time of social revolution. ' (Reproduced according to MARX, K. Preface to the Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, organized by Florestan Fernandes and published under the title K. Marx: Theory and historical process of the social revolution, In Marx & Engels, Great Social Scientists Collection, History, vol. 36. São Paulo: Ática, 1983. p. 232. Commemorative edition of the centenary of Karl Marx's death) By rejecting the pursuit of profit maximization as an instrument to stimulate innovation, socialist countries ended up condemning themselves to obsolescence. Thus, they lost the chance to incorporate the productivity gains made possible by technological progress. That is why the capitalist countries managed to provide a greater rise in the standard of living of their population, even without pursuing the egalitarian ideal. Therefore, until the “final crisis of socialism” (to paraphrase K. Marx's own definitions once again), it was only a matter of time. But religious fanatics do not give up on their faith, even against the indisputable proof of the facts, which completely refute it!

One small correction. According to the Great War channel, the Czar didnt actually take command of the army in ww1. He only announced that he did, but then he largely stayed out of the decision making process. This was still a mistake though, since russian failures were blamed on the czar, thus further tarnishing his image.

And now, after the so-called "Triumph of Democracy", living conditions in Russian and most other post-Soviet states have fallen significantly since the collapse of the USSR. Yet you conveniently don't hear that ever being mentioned because it makes capitalism look bad.

This sounds like an Anime with each season being focused on a specific thing with next being a follow up on the previous unlit it came full circle

In the best case scenario there would have been no WWII because workers would have take power over all Europe, then the world. But even with Stalin out of the portrait, the bureaucracy was still rampant in USSR.

@7:55 this is not exactly what happened. It's true that it was not shown to Congress, but the testament was read to the higher leadership. This included some members of the politburo and other high ranking leaders like Kaminev {hope I spelled that correctly}, Zinoviev and even Trotsky. The testament called for several people (don't remember if Trotsky was to be removed as well) to be removed from their positions, and many of them were very powerful like Stalin. Stalin wasnt singled out by Lenin nor did Stalin hide the testament. The leadership of the USSR did that, because they wanted to keep their careers and if Trotsky said anything about it, the Politburo would have been against him, since Trotsky would have been asking for the resignation of the most powerful people in the USSR. Ironically, this was part of the reason he was isolated by the rest of the party as the power struggle continued. Everyone had an interest in making Trotsky seem like an enemy of Lenin, since his resignation wasn't called for (explicitly or strongly I'm not sure) plus he controlled the army and this made people wary of him. It had more to do with corruption than Stalin, although he came out on top, because he was in such a position where he had a lot of power without it being noticeable, since he was a bad speaker unlike Trotsky who intimidated people. (for instance, among Stalin's many titles and hats, he was an anti corruption officer, but he looked the other way at times to gain allies).

This is now *OUR* video

This Video was brought to you by Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx

This video omits all sorts of things. Like how the Tsar went back on his word and tried to destroy the political power of the socialists who made a compromise with the Nicholas II, leaving the radical communist Bolsheviks to be seen as the only credible alternative to opposing the Tsar. Not to mention all of the foreign influence (mostly from the UK and USA and other pro-royalist nations) on the creation and arming of the "White Army". It was the Reds who pulled Russia out of WW1 citing that it was a war of imperialists who saw it more as a chess game while millions of the poor were butchered brutally for their amusement, which is largely true considering how the Hapsburgs of Austria, the Bismarks of Germany, the Windsors of Britain, the Romanovs of Russia where all related. Even during the war they would still have tea with one another and bemuse their own nations military victories and losses at the hands of their cousins. To them, it was merely a game.

It's January of 2022 and we're almost definitely going to hit 8 billion this year.

@پیر الکساندر خان Yep, they were starting to get militaristic at the time. Past me got the info from "history of japan" by Bill Wurtz, which isn't exactly... detailed on the subject.

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow Most people looked at him with terror and with fear But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear He could preach the bible like a preacher Full of ecstasy and fire But he also was the kind of teacher Women would desire

Hi there showed my younger brother this since he would only learn about this if it came from a youtube video he enjoyed the video so yeh now he has learned

Nice!

Btw Aleksey was the only son of Nickolas II. The Tsar also had 5 daughters. Aleksey had haemophilia and Rasputin was somehow capable of healing Aleksey's scratches and wounds. That's why he was so important to the royal family.

In your state flags video, Oklahoma wasn't mentioned alone or on the list of shame. And btw the seal on the flag isn't the state seal.

You should really have mentioned that the democratically elected body he overthrew was run by an agrarian socialist party, and mention how Lenin dissolved the duma and kicked out all the parties other than his own. They just weren't some arisocracy, it was a fragile young democracy lead by a genuine leader whose primary platform was seizing the land of aristocrats and distributing it to the peasantry.

One thing that is very interesting about the Russian revolution and what makes it truly distinct from the coups and uprisings of the past, with the various proto kings and princes vying for power is that Lenin abolished the nobility and introduced a universal election system, of course with him having the ability to nominate all of the candidates to be presented for election. This was new, previously, almost all countries in the world had an elite class that was very stagnant, you could not change ranks. In the Soviet Union, you could. There was the small chance that you could rise up to become a party secretary from a common bank robber (Stalin included). This isn't as good as it sounds. It meant that the party loyalists were much more attached to the leader than before. You could be replaced pretty easily, any adult of decent competence could replace you, no need for the leader to pick from a few noble families. The mass purges of Stalin could never have happened without this.

Robert Jarman This is a very good point and it shows the instability of the soviet system. Centralizing power lile that is extremely unstable. Instead you need a balance between different stakeholders in society and ensure that no one group dominates.

Erik Nielsen centralized direct democracy can be very effective. I also think it is the best way of representing the public desire, by them directly representing themselves.

Interesting 👍
