Excellent documentary, highly informative.
Excellent documentary, highly informative. It gives a broad view of how the reds came into power and a pitiful description of unnecessary nobility that got the Tsar so much into trouble. It is difficult to watch, because of how many horrible tactical mistakes poor Tsar Nicolas made. Being nice backfired big time as the whole country plunged into civil war and his beautiful daughters, his heir to the throne and his wife were brutally killed. I always thought of Nicolas as a weak man, somebody who did not fight for his country or his family. Somewhat of a loser. But I think the other side was even more of a loser - as they got wiped out by Stalin. Horrible historical period for Russia - war, starvation, genocide, political unrest...And of course, the talented Lenin with his famouse phrase "Study, study and study". At least he was good for something besides bringing the whole country down and destroying everything, including himself.
