Those assasins made a misstake about Rasputin: they've poisoned a cake with a cyanide, while sugar is known to neutralize it.
They weren’t very smart
According to extra history, the assassins were so bad at their job that they bought fake cyanide from a scammer and non of them had ever fired a gun before that night. That’s how botched Rasputin’s assassination was.
Wow really.
Sugar Neutralizes Cyanide.
@@theonering2966 or it simply isn't a common knowledge

He was aware of the poison, and already knew he wouldnt be affected.
He didnt expect everyone in the room to turn into savages when the passive attempt failed
Trotsky: “surprising military genius”
Also Trotsky: “let’s stop fighting and see what happens”
And then the central powers charged into more land and punished Russia even more severely
It's called oversimplified for a reason dawg, it wasn't that simple
@@staticalelectricPhew atleast someone gets it...
@@staticalelectricso why did he stop fighting
@@heynowur9146 not for military, but for political reasons. The bolsheviks saw that revolution was on germany's doorsteps ans wanted to accelerate the process. One of the things they had to do for this was to show the true imperialist ambitions of german capitalism in pursuing this war. At that time the german generals didn't say it was a war for the conquest of land, but for peace and the self determination of nations. So if they stopped fighting without signing a treaty, one of two things could happen: either the germans didn't advance, which would mean that the situation in germany was already so unstable that the generals were afraid of attacking, that would have boosted morale in Russia enormously. The second option was that the germans would advance, but in doing so would reveal their real intentions, which were not peace and the self determination of nations, but brutal imperialist conquest. This revelation would have massive effects in the consciousness of the german masses. Lenin and Trotsky thought that if germany advanced they would still be able to quickly sign the original peace treaty. This calculation was mistaken, and they paid the price, but the main intention, of revealing the brutality of the german ruling class was achieved, and a few months later on the 3rd of november 1918, the german revolution broke out, effectively bringing world war 1 to an end. Sadly the german revolution failed, but that is a separate matter.
Oversimplified: Starts talking about World War 1
Everyone else: Hey, I've seen this one. It's a classic.
Actually the class serves a specific group of people. This video is designed for all groups >:3
I think it's so cool how many of his other videos are referenced in this one and the previous one
is this a back to the future reference
He also stated Cold War. Which is also classic.

If anyone's curious about what became of Alexander Kerensky after he fled Petrograd, he managed to survive the Russian Revolution and lived a relatively peaceful life, outliving many of the significant figures of the Russian Revolution.
Oversimplified didn't cover this, but after Kerensky escaped the Bolsheviks during the October Revolution, he fled to Pskov, where he rallied some loyal troops in an attempt to re-take the city. They managed to capture Tsarskoye Selo but were beaten the next day at Pulkovo. Kerensky narrowly escaped again and spent the next few weeks in hiding before fleeing Russia for good, eventually arriving in France. During the Russian Civil War, he supported neither side, as he opposed both the Bolshevik regime and the White Movement.
Eventually, after Germany invaded France in 1940, Kerensky fled to the United States, where he spent the remainder of his life. He lived in New York City with his wife but spent much of his time at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in California, where he contributed to the Institution's huge archive on Russian history and taught graduate courses. He wrote and broadcast extensively on Russian politics and history.
Kerensky eventually died of heart disease in New York City on June 11, 1970. At 89, he was one of the last surviving major participants in the turbulent events of 1917, having outlived Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, and all the other prominent figures who had overthrown him.
I love the irony of all of it. He out lived all the people who tried to kill him, in a country that ended up being those people's greatest enemy.
He also had requested a permission to visit USSR, to see his country one last time, but that request was denied.

It's random shit like this that makes history so fascinating to me, and it shouldn't be that way lol

Or the kid when he stole the lollipop

THESE VIDEOS AREN'T JUST EXTREMELY EDUCATIONAL...
But they also have that PERFECT touch of satire and comic relief!!
AWESOME JOB!!
As a university history student I'd argue with the "extremely educational" part, they're good satire for sure, with many liberal biases I'd say, but from an historical POV they're good for passing a middle school test at best, they're inaccurate and don't bring any source.
So yeah, while they're good for having a laugh over history they shouldn't be taken as historically accurate at all
I find most of the comedy to be lame but he does do an excellent job of breaking down every historical event he covers.

@@Ake-TL nyet
Claudiu Toea “Народный комиссар по делам национальностей РСФСР” , don’t know how to translate that properly.
21:31 Stalin was actually very intelligent. He had a great knowledge of history, a great understanding of the political game, had an amazing memory, had a great understanding of tactics (though he would make occasional catostrophic blunders, like in Poland) and would read constantly. Stalin was many horrible things, but stupid was not one of them
Beside being intelligent he wasn’t much worse than 70% of rulers at that time. The fact that he was a tyrant is just a propaganda pushed by western countries just to distract people from the horrible stuff they did
@@smik2518 not to mention literally every European ruler was a tyrant at the time, so it's not right to cherry-pick him.

Ra Ra Rasputin! Lover of the Russian Queen!
So old family story. My great grandfather was a train station master in Lithuania (but he was of German origin). He spoke Russian, German, & Lithuanian. Trains in Russia had a different gauge then the rest of Europe, so his station was somewhere trains were swapped. As the station master and knowing those languages, he sometimes was an "independent" interpreter. At one point he was aware of the some of the intrigues regarding German plots involving Lenin. I don't know how much of that is TRUE, but those are the stories my father and grandfather used to tell after a "few" beers.
The fact that communism started out as a way to make things better then became a way to dictate and control is actually pretty fascinating to me
Revolutions always start off like that. Charismatic leader who offers hope to the oppressed. Past Oppresive government is overthrowed. New oppressive government installed.
This is pretty much the path that the extreme majority of movements devolve into if they become successful. When the preservation of the faction takes priority, it discards its values to survive at the expense of everyone else. Power corrupts super hard.
I think a good point of comparison is the French Revolution. You have an oppressive, outdated government, you a massive and certainly justified popular revolt led by people with radical new ideas for what to replace the oppressive government with, some of whom were no doubt true believers and some of whom just saw it as a path to power, you have massive resistance from surrounding conservative/reactionary governments fearing the threat to the status quo, which leads to the Revolutionaries being further radicalized, and you have the failures of the Revolution projected onto the the entire Ideology as proof of its failure.
It's interesting, then, looking at the histories of the respective Ideologies, where you see that Liberalism was, indeed, synonymous with the chaos and bloodshed of the French Revolution for many years in Europe, allowing the reactionary Absolute Monarchies to stay in power, but eventually, a somewhat more moderate version of Liberalism did triumph, sometimes even through peaceful means. I imagine we'll see Communism/Socialism take a similar path in the coming century, especially with many people once again growing justifiably dissatisfied with the status quo. History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes, as the saying goes.
That's why they're trying to ruin everything now

fun fact: basically, they did try to poison Rasputin. But the guy who was supposed to put the poison in ended up feeling bad and didn't poison it, so Rasputin was fine. Then they sh0t him and, just to be safe, dumped him in the river, but they ended up finding scratch marks underneath the ice, like he'd been trying to claw his way out.
Basically, the dude was next to immortal, and for that reason I have a cat named after him that looks and acts like the female cat equivalent of a crazy homeless guy.
King George V, Czar Nicholas II, and Kaiser Wilhelm II were all first cousins. In fact, George and Nicky looked so much alike when they were young that they were sometimes mistaken for each other at family gatherings. George is sometimes criticized for not doing more to try and save Nicholas and his family, but if he (a constitutional monarch) had tried to bring his (extremely unpopular and autocratic) cousin to England in the middle of a war… yeah, that wouldn’t have gone over very well. In any event, it’s not likely that Nicholas and Alexandra would have agreed to go, at least not until it was too late.

Funnily enough, when the Soviets came to power, they dug up Rasputin and burned his body. Unfortunately no one had prepared the body properly, so when his ligaments shriveled in the flames, he sat up and scared the crap out of everyone.
Good times.
Thanks science
He was also alive days after being shot and left outside in the snow.
AtheismDies actually the autopsy showed that rasputin had died from being shot in the head which happened before he was dumped in the river
Maybe Putin will do the same.
@Marissa Lopes, I see the comment you wrote so many times... SO really. You're the one copying someone else's comment.
5:30 in fairness, the initial plan was for his brother to be regent for his son if his son was made king. But Nicholas changed his mind to straight up just making his brother king when he was reminded that when he had to go into exile his son wouldint go with him if he was tsar. And given his son’s condition, that would have almost definetly meant he would never see his son again as he would very likely die young.

I have my history documentaries on a playlist, and I order the videos by rough chronological order of the topics. OS's WWI videos are sandwiched in between the Russian Revolution Parts 1 and 2, and it's so interesting to see the evolution of his videocraft in such stark terms. That said, I like that he opens this video with the same visuals for the archduke's assassination that he used in the WWI video. It feels like he's giving a high-five to an old buddy he hasn't seen in awhile.
I love Rasputin's story because it's completely bonkers. If you would release a film today about the queen of one of the largest countries on Earth being influenced by what's basically a giant unkillable sex wizard, no one would take it seriously because it sounds completely made up

but as a Russian who has studied history well, it infuriates me that he exposes the EMPEROR (just in the video of the tsar) with his dibil, although he has done a lot of great things.
Next time you try to be a tzar on a massive empire make sure to have a brain

Rasputin was a cat in Human form
• Completely crazy
• Looked and acted permanently high
• Had like 9 lives
I'm a cat too-
He was a cat that clearly was gone

At 4:15 I love how the one of the revolters throws a torch and it bounces off the wall and hits him
best channel in youtube for history. Really appreciate the efforts. Please keep make more videos on different topics.
Oversimplified's Animation and Editing is Getting better over time, Seriously
Other than the complete fuck up at 19:00
@@asht7815 what's wrong here, I don't see it
i also loved the anti christ rasputin at 2:20 it was hilarious
@@IKEASoderhamnSectional4-seat just watch from like 18:50 to 20:00 and listen to what he's actually talking about, he flashes up the end of the section about the family being killed and then fades to black before actually talking about it and then that end bit plays as normal
and 19:27
That Rasputin death scene was hilariously accurate to the way it was originally reported. Although, i agree, it was likely done to make him look more like a threat, and less like a group of men ganged up to kill an unarmed guy with a very picklable pickle.
From what I understand, the part about the poisoning not working could very well be true due to low quantities and poor quality.
@AR - 09UR - Heart Lake SS (2462) all valid options, but I guess we shall never know. Unless Rasputin comes back, again, to tell us.
Oversimplified: there is a lot of mystery around his death !
Commenters: thats not how rasputin died!
What the reds did to Nicholas and his family was just heartbreaking
Autocrat or not, bad or not.
Murdered the family and scattered the remains so they couldn't rest together.
Yet no one gives a damn on the countless people, including children, who perished under the Tsar's rule. The kids' death was terrible but I just can't bring myself being devastated by the death of these imperial, privileged children.
@url lol. Death is death. It's tragic regardless. If you can't see that you're a psychopath. Your not sad that people died under him, you're just sad because people tell you that's what's right.
In fact let's be real, your comment was completely unnecessary and was only made to make yourself look better than me.
Rasputin: *eats a butt ton of poisoned cakes
Russians: Were you killed?!
Rasputin: Sadly, yes. But I lived!
I understood that reference.
@@andreasanchez9453 don’t r/whoosh me but a fun fact
The wine was poisoned
I laughed at the joke for34 mins
😂😂
@@pog16384 fun fact, nothing was poisoned, the assassins literally forgot to poison the wine, that is the real reason Rasputin didn’t die from poisoning.
@@deeznoots6241
That's one reason, another is that the poisoned they used was old and less potent.
Russian People: *are starving*
Tsar Nicholas: lmao
Same
so true
nice
lmao poor people

Thank you for these videos. I understand it so much better than the dry history lessons from high school. ❤

"The palace was guarded by a force named "Battalion of Death"..."
"...who immediately gave up"
Technically their name was "Women's Battalion of Death". These were all-female units created by the Provisional Government, mainly for propaganda purposes - to raise the patriotic mood in the army and to shame the male soldiers who refuse to fight. Despite their propaganda role, they took a limited part in the war at the front (yes, in Russia in 1917 everything was so bad).
Why does noone use their full name? "Battalion of Death by Old Age"

14:26 Anybody notice that's exactly how Yevgeny Prigozhin's armed revolt happened? (Including all the _"bigwigs"_ fleeing Moscow) Until Prigozhin just decided to call it off, that is.

Funny story regarding Rasputin, after his assassination he was buried in a church cemetery which was later broken into by red army soldiers. They took the body to a forest to burn him and when they set him on fire he sat up and allegedly tried to walk lol. The reason for this was because you're supposed to cut the tendons when you cremate which shrink when they burn hence the "sitting up" part. I would have SHIT if I saw that guy sit up in his fire pit.
Would have ran and never looked back
I bet those atheist communists didn’t expect that
@EmperorJuliusCaesar you do know that the communist dictators were atheists right? Just in case you thought he was making fun of athesits
@EmperorJuliusCaesar are you... okay?

I didn't think this video would become pertinent again in 2023, but I guess history does repeat itself.
Oversimplified is so damn good. Awesome flow, outstanding comedy, and still gives an informative and concise explanation.
Guys, I don't think Lenin was up for this whole "Revolution" thing. He literally failed upwards until he stroked out.
guys I think I am a hot dog
He had massive help from the Germans even getting *to* Russia.
Pretty much sums him up. He lucked out with the Germans.
Ehhh
@@NajwaLaylah There wasnt any help from Germany.
To be honest, Oversimplified has the smoothest sponsor transitions
According to me, Internet Historian has the best sponsor integration transition
Nah i was about to click off from the video honestly
