    FUN FACT: "One of those who cooked for Rasputin during the Great War was a chef at Petrograd's luxurious Astoria Hotel who went on, after the Revolution, to cook for Lenin and Stalin. He was Spiridon Putin, grandfather of President Vladimir Putin." Simon Montefiore, "The Romanovs", Vintage Books, 2016, footnote, page 600.

    Let me say only one thing here. The video says that it was likely that Lenin did not know of his mother's Jewish heritage. But in a recent Dutch podcast I heard a professor of history say that Lenin was proud of his part-Jewish heritage, because he admired some intellectual Jews and had a high esteem of them. So my point is: so many things are said on the internet without any reliable source and many of those 'facts' or strong assumptions are not true at all.

    Best book on this period is "Red Victory " by W Bruce Lincoln , about the civil war of 1918 - 21 , my favourite book of modern history along with Shirers "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich , Lincolns book is best for its character descriptions eg] Zinoviev and kamenev as "political Siamese twins" , the description of Dzerzhinsky is brilliant , the anecdote of the Llubyanka food enough to give one nightmares , " horse hair and hide with sticky floating globules all culminating in a foul evil smelling liquid " is what I can remember from reading it way back in 92 , also the discriptions of some of the horrible cossack attamans like Kalmykov and Ungern Sternburg not to mention the anarchist leader Makhno ,if anyone likes modern history books you will love this !

      Exactly, and such danger is why Lenin launched the Bolshevik governmental takeover earlier than the time he expected for a successful capitalist stage, per Marx. Therefore, he skipped that stage and went straight to socialism. Lenin had feared that if the ill-equipped Russian Army would not be a defensive match against the Central Powers (Germany, Austria, Hungary) and all Russian lands would belong to the Central Powers.

      @markeedeep Před rokem +3

      A few notable propaganda type errors here and there, however. One being the characterisation of the October Manifesto reforms as a stage managed charade by the emperor's court. Could not be further from the truth; Russian parliamentarianism, from 1905-1918, was actually further ahead in some aspects than in most Western European countries, during the same period. The economy also grew exponentially since the reforms were officially inaugurated. Most if not all of Lenin's grievances, were entirely ideologically based. Historical enemies of Russia simply used his many rantings as material for propaganda purposes, to discredit Russia.

    43:54 "a new Ukrainian state" requires the extreme clarification that it was only the Lwow/Gallicia/Volynhia region that was ruled by the self declared state in Lwow. When Germany collapsed it became a very venal anti-Jewish anti-Russian proto Nazi state that had only 13% or so literacy. There were competing and even more vicious racist bandit states in Kiev (Petlura) and Zaporozyhe (the so called anarchists who were basically rapists and marauders), plus Tsarists still in Rostov whose first move was to attack northwest to reconnect with Europe.
    The Lwow proto-Nazis were defeated by Poland. The others by the Tsarists. Then the Red Ukraine forces from Kharkov and the side-switching bandits - as at that time "Ukraine" did not include any Black Sea coast -took over from Tsarists whose last gasp was attacking Petrograd from Estonia in 1922.
