This episode of Ten Minute History (like a documentary, only shorter) covers the late Russian Empire under Tsar Nicholas II all the way to the USSR just before World War II. The first part of the Episode covers the social and political issues and changes until the February Revolution. The second part covers the October Revolution and how Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin established the Soviet Union and how things changed. Without a doubt, the Russian Revolution was one of (if not the) most important event of the 20th century.

Ten Minute History is a series of short, ten minute animated narrative documentaries that are designed as revision refreshers or simple introductions to a topic. Please note that these are not meant to be comprehensive and there's a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the episodes that I would have liked to. Thank you for watching, though, it's always appreciated.

    @Сладенький Czech and Slovak minorities living in Russia volunteered to fight alongside Russians against Central Powers in exchange for the support of Czechoslovak independence. They were enlisted in the Russian army as regular soldiers and the brigade was extended up to 80 000 men strong corps (all Czechs and Slovaks). So yes, they were to be paid, such as any other Russian soldiers. As the revolution began, Czechoslovak legions were on the side of the Tsar, since he was the one guaranteeing their independence. The bolsheviks were against that and refused the Czechoslovak troops to move home, planning them to be sent in the work camps. Thus Czechoslovaks moved through the entirety of Russia, aiding whites and repelling anyone who refused to let them pass. Moreover, the Soviet Union caused much larger economic damage to both nations, with the mined natural resources, while under Soviet control. There is nothing to be paid and if someone should, it is Russia, yet nobody blames them now.

    The election for the constituent assembly was incredibly flawed. The largest party in Russia was the peasant based Socialist Revolutionary party which had split into a pro-Bolshevik left faction and an anti-Bolshevik right faction. This split did not become official until after the electoral lists were already sent out so there was only one SR option on the ballot. As the right SRs comprised the leadership of the unified party the lists were stuffed with right SRs. This had the effect of making the entire election incredibly unrepresentative because a majority of those who voted for the SRs supported the left SRs. Scholars agree that if there was an option for both SR parties on the ballot the Bolsheviks and left SRs would have won enough seats to form a coalition government, the same as the Soviet government at this period. By the way, the only reason the Soviet government became a one party system was because the left SRs betrayed the Bolsheviks and rebelled against them because they did not support ending the war.

    Lenin implemented some really progressive and good reforms! It's just a shame that he refused to accept the Democratic decisions of the people though. The Soviet Union would've been a very different place if he did. What's even more of a shame is the fact that Stalin reversed many of the progressive and good reforms that Lenin had put in place. Take for example Homosexuality. It was De-Criminalized under Lenin and then Re-Criminalized under Stalin.

    There’s an issue of correlation and causation here; whenever interventionalim occurred, it tended to end up weakening the USSR. Also, it turned out that just because a country was Communist didn’t mean it’d support them at all; post Khrushchev, China never supported or aligned themselves with Russia again, and felt no obligation to prevent the collapse of the USSR in its clear early stages, e.g. sought no interventionalism in the 30 year stagnation of Brezhnev, which paved the way for the collapse
