Great topic to add to Hillsdale Online Courses... If you have not taken any of the courses, I highly recommend it.

Papa Velour is truly an amazing professor, just finished "The Fall of the Romanovs" and it's one of the best historical books I've read in a while

Brilliant story teller I am learning so much that I can pass onto my advanced level students thank you.

This may be good for my studies on American-Finnish socialists who went to Karelia in the late 20s and 30s. The goals for starting commune life for these Finnish-Americans were: work and a living wage, education for children, health care, taking care of retirement and older people all supported by the community of educators, doctors, etc. It started out and developed good to be an example for the rest of the country. The paranoia of Stalin grew more and more after the death of Stalin´s 2nd wife. All secondary and cross border migrants became the enemies of the soon disappear or shot and the list grew and grew until the 1937-8 there were quotas on how many should disappeared...shot...deported to the gulags. The dream of these Finnish-Americans became an nightmare.

Brilliant! My Romanian relatives who emigrated to the US in 1907 colored dozens of Easter eggs deep red. The Russians and Romanians are bot Orthodox Christians. The beginning of the Russian Revolution is perfect for understanding current events.

A born storyteller! I salute monsieur Steinburg.

Wonderful presentation professor Mark, really liked it...

Zhou Enlai according to his translator at the time and Chinese records was referring to the 1968 student uprising in Paris, not the French Revolution.

freedom and viability of the person sure came with the soviet union...

Uao. Impressive pictures. Great lecture. Congratulations 🌹

Thank you for posting these excellent videos. Большое спасибо за отличные видео!

41:10 "The utopian 'kingdom of freedom' and we know that this vision - which is where human will will dominate everything, there will be no necessity - can be a very potentially dangerous faith when a powerful group of people believes that that end is so good, that any means, no matter how brutal, are not only justified, but ennobled by that great end." - this quote, I'm not if he's directly quoting Walter Benjamin, echoes both Dostoyevsky's comments on 'the Crystal Castle' and David Horowitz in the context of SJW's and far left intersectionalist academics: "If you believe you are bringing about heaven on earth, what lie would you not tell, what crime would you not commit?"

Papa Velour!!!

Just an Historian who reports what happened. Wise, Revolution is "The kicking in of the rotten door".., so sheer momentum will carry on in decline, and that POV should define the meaning of "Revolution" as it actually happens. The functional phenomenon of self-defining time-timing sync-duration has no affective naming system, ie when we give appearances names we indulge in Magical Thinking Labelling and the language of mimicry, onomatopoeia for example, is more relevant to innate meaning by function than secondary values of usage. (Ask a Semantics Professor) If we can't read the environment from a functional perspective, then we continue to live in ignorant chaos. First Principle Observation is required, in continuity, to assess actual progress of pulse-evolution cycles of probabilistic change.., globally.

There was no Provisional Government/Petrograd Soviet divide. Why? Because Kerensky was the leader of both, de facto. The PG wiped the floor with the Bolsheviks in the July Days & Lenin fled, asking his friends to publish his writings after his death. What changed? The British, terrified by the prospect of a revolution here, backed Kornoilov, who was not well-supported.. What he was planning was known to the PG, which told the rail workers to deny the Kornilov the use of trains, but it was enough to create confusion. Lenin called this "an incredibly drastic turn of events and returned. Lenin had no intention of bringing peace, feeding anti-Bolsheviks, who were the majority, and taking the land from the peasnats and giving it to the Commissars, who created mass famine all over the country becasue they had little or no understanding of farming. The British papers in Downing Street are still not available.

Just a side comment that while I am studying these events there were some very rich Americans in these early stages funding the revolution.

@XX78J These comments show just how ignorant and malevolent we have become What you assert is, that rich bankers funded a revolution that's aim from the outset was to overturn capitalist property rights, placing all land and the enourmous resources of the soviet Union in the hands of the state as public utilities, and locking out all private investment completely. Property rights, are the defining difference between capitalism and socialism. (And is why Sanders is not a socialist, he is just more smoke and mirrors) And this exactly what happened until thedisolution of Russia in 1991 when all the public institutions/resources were snapped up by the ex-Stalinist bureacrats for next to nothing, who are now the Ruusian oligarchs/Mafia. I have studied political economy for 18 years , that includes soviet economics. The slandering of Jews is reprehensible and occurs because it is easy to pick on minorities, while it takes principles and courage to take on the real crooks.....OUR GOVERNMNETS. Courage and principles that are nowhere to be found these days. (I am not Jewish, nor do I support the despotic Zionist state of Israel)

@daniel d that jewish bankers funded the bolshevik revolution is undeniable. you merely have a misapprehension about communism its never about an economic system, but rather a totalitarian state plutocracy where the plebs work for the grey little existence that is alloted them and the rich rule uncontested with all the organs of state to crush mercilessly any notion of individualism you merely have to read david rockefeller's gushing enthusiastic praise and admiration for china every chance he gets as is fairly typical for your kind, your mindset is naieve and unfailingly by-the-book. you think in terms of ideals when any history book can tell you the effect of putting the state as judge, jury and executioner. it doesnt ever go to plan. human nature i am afraid, puts pay to that

Some had supported the February revolution but not the October Revolution which saw the Provisional Government they had supported being acquired. Conspiracy theorists only start at October and then contradict themselves.

Why would he bring his son to the front. Too much of a distraction. He needed to focus on his mission of the war.

I stopped listening to you after this statement: "Nicholas the second was not stupid." He was VERY stupid, as well as oblivious. You lost all credibility by making this claim. Even the French royal family had enough sense to try to flee. The Russian royal family didn't. They simply didn't realize the game was up, probably right up until the time they were all shot. The fact that Nicholas tried to give the czarship to his brother (and also his son, which you didn't mention) when he advocated indicates quite clearly he didn't understand czarist rule was over, but thought that people just wanted another czar. That he thought it was a good idea to shoot on women marching for bread, after shooting on the marchers in 1905 had serious negative repercussions for his power indicates quite clearly what a dunce he was.

He believed the Tsar was appointed by God to be the ruler of all the Russias. He wasn't thinking from a purely rational materialistic point of view like a politician would. Its a bit like the captain who won't leave a sinking ship.
