      i wish he pointed out subtle specifics like how the right hand reference from lenin to stalin was pointing at the fact that stalin was on the right side of the communist party.
      its a nice little touch because stalin was different from lenin in that he believed in bringing a centralized government and bureaucracy to re-stabilize Russia which was in ruins after the Bolshevik revolution. this was very contradictory to what the revolution fought for in the first place, but at this point Lenin was dead and it was left in the hands of the people in the communist party. the right side of the party highly opposed the revolutionary ideals of a revolutionary state of left side of the communist party which conformed more to lenins ideals and had most of the initial Bolsheviks from the revolution such as Trotsky who worked alongside lenin from the beginning military-wise. stalin was the new guy who came, exploited the party, and got the power for himself
      both sides are stupid anyways but its fun history to look into

  • @ksad96
    @ksad96 4 года назад +81

    I like this stuff, I enjoy the fact he watches it and has a look over the outfits and costumes, but I wish he circled back to the lyrics and explained things as to why certain lines make sense. "I even crush motherfuckers when I'm laid in state" would've been a good one for example. I have no idea what makes that line, and I don't know how accurate it is. "Pride of Lenin took Trotsky out of the picture" references Stalin calling *himself* the successor to Lenin, even though Lenin himself did not want the man in charge, and Trotsky was the basically runner up to Stalin, but was forced to flee to Mexico where he was assassinated by Stalin's men in 1940. He was forcibly removed to prevent anything from stopping the dictator.
    There's so much to unpack in all ERB videos, but the Russian Leaders one in particular has a lot of amazing moments because of things like that, Gorbachev ending the Cold War, that sort of thing. I'd love to see Mr. Terry unpack these at the end of a video, going through them bit by bit like a rapid fire history lesson!
    Edit: I mean, Mr. Terry does say it's hard for him to catch everything, but I feel like if he had a little time he could record his immediate reaction live the way he currently does, but then have a more edited part right after where he gives more of a run through of as much as he knows in the rap, something he maybe has taken notes on, structured a little bit or at least goes through a bit more? I don't know, I feel like he could easily make a full video just on one of these raps at a time, but the editing is where it'd be most time consuming so I suppose I understand.

      In the video Wallace also says “that’s the Highland way”, but William Wallace was from the Lowlands. So even if kilts had been commonly worn at the time (though, they weren’t worn til about the 17th century) by Highlanders, Wallace wouldn’t have worn one because he was a Lowlander.

It is actual real and somewhat receent history, it has good beats, and I in particular love the style of Lenin with it's aggressive drive and punch. There wasn't really a lot of entries in the ERB library back then, of this caliber, so I'm glad that is where I got onboard.
