tbh that scene of lenin walking with the chant going was among the most epic scenes in film ive ever seen
Approved
exatly
Gave shivers from the awesomeness
Lenin himself is what gave the world Communist ideology which has spread across various countries.
Absolutely bad ass.
This embarrassingly inaccurate. The Russian Czar was toppled in February. Lenin arrived in Russia in April. The Bolsheviks didn't storm the winter palace until October. Way, way, way off.
Lenin also wasn't greeted by Trotsky not Stalin. And their rise to power was because of saving the Russian Duma from pro-Monarch forces leaving the German front heading to St. Petersberg.
John Alexand
The Czar was toppled in February, then a Provisional Government was set up, which Kerensky was the president of. The Provisional Government held some power and were set to have a democratic election in November, but the Bolsheviks in October entered, not stormed, the Winter Palace and forced the dissolution of the Provisional Government. That's what happened, and after this, the Russian Civil War followed. That lasted 3 years. Bloody hell, the History Channel need to get their facts right, and also stop over-fantasising history.
George withdraw support from cousin Nicholas knowing that the old known Marx plague was in a train to destroy his soul brother? This all beeing a Saxe Coburg and Gotha?
See, Fall of Eagles: The secre war
"The Kaiser, fearful of creating a "Bolshevik nemesis", reluctantly allows Lenin and his compatriots to travel through Germany from exile in Switzerland. With the help of industrialist Dr Helphand, the Russians finally arrive to a heroic homecoming in St. Petersburg."
Caleb Maupin y really d9n know history do you American fascist
God this makes Lenin look like a badass
IKR? The editors are pretty damn awesome. It was so much fun to walk through that smoke. At the time, there was no music, and no slo-mo. They created that moment. Editors rule! There is so much more to a show than the silly actors, of which I am one. I would never give it up, though. It is so fun. I spent 11 days in West Virginia filming what ended up to be three minutes on camera.
And hey, you got paid for eleven days' work! And you had fun, which is just as important. I guess. XD
He was a badass.
Very well done from a cinematic standpoint but the Czar was already gone when Lenin arrived, Stalin wasn't the only one at his arrival, the Soviet Union wasn't "born" until 1922 (Lenin created the Russian SFSR, and St Petersburg was Petrograd in 1917
I think it was called the RSFSR
+Elephant Warrior Quite right, thank you. Not the use of the word "Russian" before SFSR.
The Czar and his family was shot by bolsheviks. The germans sent Lenin to Russia to create turmoil.
This is History channel, so obviously it's historically inaccurate, however the acting was still pretty great. It makes me want a real full length movie about the October revolution (With the same actors, of course)
Ammanas You are so sweet!
I concur, comrade.
Bruh
"History channel" is just making Propaganda to make lenin seem evil
@@justarandombird I thought this made him look pretty badass though.
The Soviet Union wasn't born straight after Lenin took power, it was born in 1922 after the Bolsheviks won the Russian civil war.
That’s a common misconception that the USSR was founded in 1917 but when the Communist Reds took control of Russia after their revolt originally the government was called SFSR until being reformed a few years after
The soviets or "bolsheviks" were already a faction in 1917.
This is a great dramatization, but it is wildly, historically inaccurate. Lenin did not go back to Russia to overthrow Tsarism. By the time the Germans transported him back to Russia in April 1917, the Tsar had already been overthrown two months before. Secondly, when he arrived in St. Petersburg, he was greeted by more Bolsheviks than just Stalin. Thirdly, the October Revolution of 1917 did not start in Moscow,. Lenin did not go to Moscow until 1918,.. after the revolution. Fourthly,.. the Bolsheviks did not storm any palace in 1917 to overthrow the Tsar,.. they stormed the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, where the Provisional Government was meeting. And, lastly, Stalin sat out the storming of the Winter Palace in a Bolshevik newspaper office. The real leader of that storming was Leon Trotsky, who is not even mentioned here at all. so, in the words of a previous commenter,... Stupid History Channel.
St Petersburg at that time was known as Petrograd then renamed Leningrad a few years later
Whoever added this scene to the script should be stripped of any history degree they hold. You don't need to be a historian to know that it was Trotsky who was Lenin's right hand man and co-founder of the October Revolution. Ironically from the same channel that produced Stalin: Man of Steal that even confirms this fact.
+hectorbolshevik On what planet? Lenin returned to Russia in April. Trotsky did not join the Bolsheviks until July. Until July of 1917, Lenin and Trotsky were political opponents. Lenin wrote a number of polemics against Trotsky on the peasant question. Trotsky rejected Lenin's call to form the Bolsheviks and built the "August Bloc" instead, hoping to stay inside the Second International.
+Caleb Maupin What the video, nimrod, before you open your mouth. Better yet first watch Stalin: Man of Steel and you will see it disproves everything in this drivel.
Trotsky was a menshevik back then, i agree with caleb
Because there was no Bosheviks on NY, you do what you gotta do to survive.
Yakov Sverdlov was Lenin's right hand man.. not really Trotsky until the last years of Lenin's life.
I cant stop looking at Stalin he looks so fit
You have to if you escape Siberia 6 times
Look up a young picture of him he’s an attractive guy

"Aliens"
+Memefessor Not sure I quite understand.
+ccady "ancient aliens"
Vladimir Lenin so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow.. screenwriters of History the channel don't know the history
There are definitely some errors. I've heard people complain about incorrect costumes, weapons, and hardware. What specifically did you find?
ccady Minor things like St.Petersburg, when its name was russified when WW1 began and changed to Petrograd. Soviet Union is not born, it would be born through unification of Ukrainian, Belorussian, Russian and Transcaucasian soviet republics in the end of 1922. Simplification of revolution to Lenin/Stalin as main participants and communists as main force are not trueful. The only good thing I saw here, is that nobody said crap about Lenin hated Stalin, as they usually say mentioning Lenins letter to congress. Forgetting to mention that the only negative thing Lenin says about Stalin is 'too rude' (for administrative role of general secretary). Also version about german funding of revolution was shown in soviet movies as a joke that cinematographic Lenin laughed at reading some pro-government newspaper. Its more about blaming them as a force that actually won, even though they were not very popular in the beginning. And for the west its important to link Bolsheviks with german HQ because they got rid of their puppet project in Russia.
ccady It is a concocted history to malign Communist thought. From the very beginning of Marxist thought of class struggle emerged and Lenin in the era of Imperialism successfully led the proletarian revolution in Russia, the bastard bourgeois thinkers, historians tried to make all possible stories to check world revolution. This story is one of those activities. But they wont be able to the suppress the inevitable revolution...
***** anti Semitic caused Hitler to be bad not the other around Hitler image is so bad that historical truth has been tampered with
Until 1918 Stalin was not the closest ally , Lenin's closest ally included Yakov Sverdlov and Leon Trotsky, although Trotsky was not a Bolshevik member before , but became one of the closest ally after Trotsky supported April theses . Further after returning to Russia in March Lenin was angered over Stalin and Lev Kamenev as they wanted unification with the Menshiviks , thus repelling Lenin's idea of no support to the provisional govt . Stalin's rise to power was much more a conspiracy over Trotsky . The troika clearly abandoned the working scheme and governance of Soviet Russia projected by Lenin by sidelining Trotsky . The newly formed position in the communist party as general secretary didn't seek to give that great power to Stalin but it was Stalin's conspiracy and he clearly defied Lenin's idea and later removed Kamenev and Zinoviev from the politburo and made his loyals to occupy positions in the Congress. Lenin had expected this and though with his deteoriating health he put up his last testament in 1923 to remove Stalin from power. But the stalinists didn't pay any attention to it. Aftermath the result was great purges in the late 30's . Among the communist elites and vanguards Stalin in not much respected as he turned the collective leadership into an authoritian govt. Many people may disagree with that as their argument would be simple that Stalin turned the agrarian society into an industrial superpower but there were many who were more intellectual than Stalin , and may have done something even better as it was the duty of the communist party of the Soviet union of what the October revolution had promised. Infact Nadedzha krupskaya was among those anti stalinists elites who had done something very great , transforming the education system that later produced such brilliant minds from the Soviet union.This video is completely a propanda that is very common of the capitalists that Lenin was a German collaborator and Stalin was his perfect successor to just show that how bad Lenin was , but remember he was a leader of the masses and the founder of such a country that fought for moral reasons and never judge prudence. Why to ask such a person(Florida man) whose country's history has been of slavery , fascism and buisness even in war because of which millions have perished. These people would never talk of slavery and colonialism because they know they are the culprits. For colonialism just a word :sorry it was history! Today also the typical west just adorns itself but remember what have happened from 1600's to 1960's is a complete guilt , neither the colonised were compensated and today also they have much say inthe international institutions. The so called adorned capitalism exploited crores of masses inhumanly and the development that u harvest and adorn was the reap of the opressed ,labour of our ancestory that just gained one thing trough the ages brutal slaughter. No one wants to talk of it because it is the black justice of 3rd world. For u shooting of a U2 spy plane costs much more than the hungry masses of Asia Africa and south america. Change the mind that 3rd world are group of land animals and the typical west is the bird. Communism is truth , it is the answer of the worker. Ur propaganda won't work as USSR showed kuzma mother to many such. Live happily and never turn ur face when capitalism is in trial. Respect the worker and its adorned leader.
Little did the Germans know, their gamble backfired when WW2 happened
Besides the historical inaccuracies, this gamble returned to haunt Germany in the next war.
Despite its historical flaws, what a badass entrance from Lenin
Great intro of Lenin, but Stalin wasn't even that close to him then. It was Trotsky.
+Batman Jr. Trotsky did not join the Bolsheviks until July of 1917. Lenin returned in April. Trotsky and Lenin were feirce opponents until then, disagreeing about the role of the second international and the peasant question. Trotsky was quite embarrassed of this fact, and spend a lot of time in his history of the Russian Revolution besmirching the Bolsheviks to justify the fact that he was not a member.
Loved this documentary because even thon it wasnt actually the most accurate with telling histroy, it introduced global leaders like MCU characters
They call this History Channel?
Yes, but this is just shit channel!
Nowbits just the aliens and car channel
@Lee Ruan, the fact is that the Germans do not Finance either Lenin or Stalin! these are cheap insinuations aimed at discrediting Lenin and the revolution! There are no real facts to prove what is claimed in the film!
This is a low budget documentary made for the World War 1 centennial but is mostly dramatized with many liberties taken.
Very bad work. Emperor (Tsar) of Russia, Nikolai the Second was toppled by the democrats, who created a Temporary Government. This happened in February of 1917. Communists toppled Temporary Government on the 7th of November of 1917, because Democrats did nothing to overcome the economic and political crisis. Two russian revolutions happened in 1917. And, yeah, Soviet Union was created in 1922, there was Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic before the USSR. So, screenwriters of History Channel just don't know history. It's so ironic.
The Wikipedia page on the Russian revolutions ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Revolutions_of_1917)
I think it has more to do with how this was being presented in the U.S. (I blame the Common Core education concept for having an influence on this). The U.S. History Channel broadcast version, the version narrated by Jeremy Renner, is chock full of errors in editing, historical accuracy and narration mistakes (such errors in narration include this sequence).
On the other hand, the British broadcast version, narrated by someone else (who I am unable to determine at the moment), only had mistakes in editing and portions of historical accuracy. The British narration, in my honest opinion, was more accurate than Jeremy Renner's narration for the U.S. broadcast.
For example: Instead of the word "Tsar", the British broadcast version used the words "Russian Government" which would, in my mind, mean the Russian Temporary Government of 1917. And instead of it saying that the Soviet Union was created then and there (as stated in the U.S. History Channel broadcast), the British narration simply states "paving the way for the Soviet Union".
Thankfully, the Extended Edition that was broadcast on H2 from June 22nd to June 24th has the British broadcast narration (more importantly, a more in depth version of that same British broadcast narration) and same actor who did said narration, which means less errors on the narration end.
Christopher Manson
Is this version available anywhere online? Is the footage identical, but the voiceover different?
ccady I can try looking for the British History Channel broadcast version, but no promises. Reason being is that it is very likely that the mauled U.S. History Channel broadcast version would be more prominent in the net's search results.
And yes, going by how accurate the British voice over narration of the Extended Edition broadcast on H2 was, I'm only making an educated guess that the British History Channel broadcast version has identical footage to the U.S. History Channel broadcast version, but with a more accurate voice over narration.
Christopher Manson
Don't go to any trouble. I think I have found some (slightly unsavoury) versions and will watch it to find the differences I'm interested in.
Somehow this made Lenin seem like Palpatine lol
I really want to say a smart comment about this but all I can think of is how fucking HOT young Stalin looks like :O
He's also a really nice guy. facebook.com/JacopoRampiniActor
ccady OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!!!! LOOK AT THIS FACE! IT'S SO PERFECT, OMG! I guess I have to pray for my sinfull thoughts I just had... Oh my god, I'm freaking out man! I'm now googling this guy! Oh god, he's so perfect!!!! What have you done to me?! I'm not sure if I should hate or love you for showing me this guy ... I guess I prever love ♥
HellmotherEva The actor is much too young to play 40 year old Stalin in 1918. Maybe 1898 but not 1918.
HellmotherEva i agree
HellmotherEva Interestingly, Stalin was actually somewhat pockmarked, because he had smallpox in his youth. The Soviet authorities edited most photos of him to improve his appearance.
You did an amazingjob as an actor, I am not fan of Lenin but your performance put tears to my eyes
Thank you! That is very nice of you to say. I appreciate it.
Lenin's intent on Communism actually started for good reasons because every Russian citizen back then was suffering under Tsarist rule but when he was sent back it helped the people get what they wanted until Stalin took over after his death and went on a different path.
Communism only good in paper
It isn`t correct: October Revolution was the second one after Feb. revolution
So don`t be fooled!
I didn't think Stalin had such a militant role, he was, as Trotsky described, 'the man who missed the revolution'.
Richard Evans He didn't. When the Revolution happened Stalin was at a pub getting drunk and telling jokes.
what an idiot. Stalin was one of the most actives members of the party years before Trotsky joined. Trotsky joined the bolsheviks in 1917 lol
noledareminombreaunamaquina It doesn't change the fact that Trotsky co-lead the Russian Revolution, and remained committed to the cause as opposed to Stalin who betrayed it.
hectorbolshevik How did Stalin betrayed socialism by buliding and developing the first socialist state?
noledareminombreaunamaquina Now, that is a question. 1) Reversing all the democratic gains of October Revolution, stripping the soviets of power, and recriminalizing abortion and homosexuality. 2) Decapitating the Red Army and murdering all the founders of the Revolution. 3) Adopting "Socialism in One Country", seeking alliances with imperialism, betraying potential revolutions abroard. All the growths and progress the USSR enjoyed was in spite of Stalin.

What music is playing for the whole video? Someone knows?
SuperGman117 determined it is called "Red or Alive". www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KHQK23M
man, care for the content first
It seems they only wanted to focus on World War II, because they didn’t talk about any of the World War I leaders like Kaiser Wilhelm II, Franz Joseph I or Karl I, Tsar Nicolas II, etc...
Actually they do talk a lot about WW1 and that's why the Russian revolution is covered here.
It the series innacurate? Yes. But is the music and acting amazing? Yes!
Join our Cause Comrades!
Stalin was actually 40 when Lenin returned from exile. He looks 20 here. This is Stalin was he was in the early 1900's, by 1918 he had his trademark mustache and double chin.
Oh yes, thank you for taking the role as Vladimir Lenin
This is so wrong I want to scream! Stalin NEVER knew Lenin, he was just a regular guy during the revolution and never once spoke with Lenin. This is terrible.
This was not how it happened at all... stupid History Channel
Alright then, if you know exactly how it happened give me a story
Erulastiel what the hell are you talking about this is exactly what happend

+Chris Michael technically this is more of a summary. This is easier to remember than the complexities of what really happened. The whole "Germany's plan" part is dramatized, but the general gist is the same. The show covers too much to be both memorable and 100% accurate. I enjoyed this show because it provides more context than content, and this section was one of the context ones. I respectful lay disagree with you though, not for historical accuracy but for message of the show
C-Krak I agree with you
I can't believe my 10th History teacher showed us this in class.
Mr. Johnson?
It's pretty normal that documentaries like this would be shown in school despite at times being historically off.
One of the scenes is incorrect they use Milwaukee 261 rather than a Russian steam locomotive on the last train scene
And what's supposed to be St Petersburg then known as Petrograd is actually Chicago.
Holy hell, watching this video is painful. The Germans didn't transport Lenin to Russia, they transported him to the Baltic so that he could catch a ship to Sweden and then to Finland. (How could they have transported him directly to Russia by train when the two countries were at war?) The Germans did in fact give Lenin large sums of money but they never honestly expected him to seize power, just to cause trouble for the Provisional Government and whip up anti-war sentiments in Russia (the money was for printing propaganda leaflets, not purchasing weapons). Lenin was not the leader of the 'communist revolutionaries' in Russia, he was the leader of the Bolsheviks, a faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. Besides the Bolsheviks, there were also other socialist factions or parties in Russia, such as the Mensheviks and the Socialist Revolutionaries. Stalin most certainly was not Lenin's right hand man, he was actually a relatively minor figure during this period; it was Trotsky who was Lenin's main ally in planning the revolution. Moreover, Lenin and Stalin would have greeted each other in Petrograd, not Moscow; it wasn't until 1918, after the seizure of power, that Lenin moved the national government to Moscow because of Petrograd's vulnerability to invasion. Moreover, the Bolsheviks did not arm themselves to take down the government, they operated by winning the support of the Petrograd Workers' Council, whose militia was responsible for patrolling Petrograd, as well as the Moscow Workers' Council and the workers' councils throughout most of Russia's other major cities which had more or less taken control of the cities in the absence of any effective national governance. With the support of the workers' councils, overthrowing the government was an easy task. Finally, and most egregiously, the Bolsheviks did not overthrow Tsar Nicholas II; the tsar had already been overthrown in February. Rather, they overthrew the Provisional Government which was set up in place of the tsar.
I can kind of understand misunderstanding something like the exact route that Lenin followed back to Russia, but something as basic as which government the Bolsheviks were even trying to overthrow? This is absolutely pathetic; the History Channel has completely lost all of my respect.
Еще никогда "Дедушка Ленин" так эпично не входил в кадр!

Are we using ALTERNATIVE FACTS history channel?
Everyone was swimming in the pond, not knowing stalin was its biggest fish.
I LOVE VLADIMIR ILYICH ULYANOV.
I CAN DIE FOR THIS GUY.
Germany letting Lenin take over Russia with Stalin and Trotsky was the biggest mistake in history, the USSR has one of the best militaries in the world.
The Tsar was going to fall anyway.
The czar abdicated in February 1917. The Bolsheviks didn't take over until October. They overthrew the provisional government, who had made the fatal mistake of deciding they had to stay in the war, not the czar.
It's a gross oversimplification of history (February Revolution?) but man did they give Lenin one hell of an entrance.
They didn't even show Trotsky, chairman of the Petrograd Soviet.
I always thought that Stalin was a short little guy.
He is.
Among the other historical mistakes already mentioned there is another one:
When the October revolution happened, Stalin was one of many others top bolsheviks, but not a main partner of Lenin. To understand Stalin's position better: after Lenin's death when the power struggle started, at first Stalin wasn't even considered as a possible successor or as a serious opponent by the other more influential and famous pretenders. Only after a while and through party scheming Stalin became Stalin as most people know him
If only it were as accurate as it is dramatic.
the most historical line "many of our sources say they are sympathetic to our cause.".....how many times have i heard that in a move
The Inaccuracy leaves a lot to be desired but the actors playing Lenin and Stalin are damn near spot on carbon copies of both Men😮😮😮😮
I specialize in this part of History, and last I remember the Bolsheviks toppled the Provisional Government after Tsar Nicholas II abdicated, storming public buildings like the palace and other seats of authority.
+Corey Warford Yeah! Czar toppled in February. Lenin gets to Russia in April. Winter Palace stormed in October. This is so far off its embarrassing!
Nope, the Bolshevik revolution was just a nasty German plot. There was no provisional government that sold out its revolutionary principals to appease the international bourgeoisie, and no mass mobilization by the part of the Russian working class to seize power for themselves. Just scary Russian music and secret meetings in dark smokey bars.
Shortly after that the Tsar and his entire family were brutally murdered by Lenin's henchmen at a house then their corpses were cremated.
Lenin looks bad-ass in this, i'd love to see him and the Stalin actor in a movie about the Russian Revolution.
Bastion _ I would, too. The Stalin actor is Jacopo Rampini. The Lenin badassery is really due to the production and editing.
I fucking love this cheese. Makes Lenin look so incredibly badass. I mean, he was, but just the Fox Films version of it haha
What? Lenin overthrew the czar?
Luke god morning
No. A provisional government. The Czar abdicated in March 1917, months before the October Revolution.
What was the song that was playing at the beginning with the train?
that music is badass
It is simple, use an enemy of your enemy to defeat your enemy.

Could you possibly upload the rest of the episode? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Can anyone tell me why is it so hard to find red or alive???

Where the HELL is Trotsky?
Lenin’s return to Petrograd
Lenin’s return to Russia, and his arrival at the Finland Station in
Petrograd, ranks among the most dramatic episodes in world history. The
outbreak of the Revolution had found him in Switzerland, living in a
small second floor apartment on Spiegelgasse, in the old town section of
Zurich. The circumstances of Lenin’s trip from Zurich’s Hauptbahnhof-central
train station-to Petrograd were to emerge as a major political issue in
the course of the revolution. Under conditions of war, the possibility
of a rapid return to Russia from landlocked Switzerland required that he
travel through Germany. Lenin understood very well that reactionary
chauvinists would raise an outcry against his decision to travel through
a country that was at war with Russia. But time was of the essence. In
his absence, the Bolshevik Party was being drawn into the orbit of the
Menshevik leaders of the Soviet, who were pursuing a line of compromise
with the Provisional Government. Lenin negotiated the conditions under
which he would travel through Germany, insisting on a “sealed train,”
precluding the possibility of any contact between himself and
representatives of the German state.
From the moment Lenin received news of the outbreak of revolution in
Russia, he began formulating a policy of irreconcilable revolutionary
opposition to the Provisional Government. His initial response to the
revolution is recorded in a series of detailed commentaries known as the
Letters from Afar.
The policies Lenin advanced in the first days of the revolution were
based on his analysis of the imperialist war, and were a continuation of
the revolutionary anti-war program for which he had fought at the
Zimmerwald Conference in September 1915. There, Lenin had insisted that
the imperialist war would lead to socialist revolution. The slogan he
advanced, “Turn the imperialist war into a civil war,” was a
programmatic concretization of this perspective. Lenin saw the overthrow
of the tsarist autocracy as a confirmation of his analysis. The
upheaval in Russia was not a self-contained national event, but the
first stage of the uprising of the European working class against
imperialist war, and, therefore, the beginning of the world socialist
revolution.
Lenin’s analysis of Russian events within the international framework
of the world war placed him in conflict with not only the Menshevik
leaders of the Soviet, but also with substantial sections of the
Bolshevik Party leadership in Petrograd. The Menshevik leaders argued
that, with the overthrow of the tsar, the political character of
Russia’s participation in the war had changed. It had now become a
legitimate democratic war of national self-defense.
The initial response of the Bolshevik Party, formulated by
lower-level leaders of the Petrograd organization, was to reaffirm the
intransigent anti-war stance for which Lenin had fought at Zimmerwald,
reiterating his call to turn the imperialist war into a civil war. But
as more senior leaders made their way from Siberian exile to Petrograd,
the political line of the party changed.
The arrival of Kamenev and Stalin in Petrograd in mid-March led
almost immediately to a dramatic shift in policy. Adopting a defensist
position that justified the continuation of the war, Kamenev, with
Stalin’s support, published a statement in the Bolshevik organ Pravda
on March 15 that declared: “When army stands against army, it would be
the blindest of all policies which called upon one of them to lay down
its arms and go home... A free people will staunchly remain at its post,
answering bullet for bullet.” [15] www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/03/13/nort-m13.html
Good stuff, by the History Channel, perhaps not so accurate, but, of you are looking for something to keep you entertained, then the World Wars will do it.
please tell me where i can find Red or alive to download or the real name for it
Lenin and the communist didn’t overthrow the Tsar, he only overthrow the provincial government that had overthrow the Tsar long before.
What's the background music?
I really only came here to see Lenin's dramatic walking sequence.
This is History revised By Walt Disney's Miky Mouse. When the Tzar was toppled in February Lenin was not in Russia.
When he came back was greeted in Finland Station ( St. Petesbourg) by thousands of workers, He presented to the Party the so called April Thesis. Between April and October (November with the old calendar ) there were many months in which a new gov. was formed with Kerensky, a revolution was tried in July, repressed and Lenin was exiled again , and so on.... It's in every book of History. But those people of the documentary apparently cannot read .
ACCORDING TO ME, LENIN WAS, IS AND WILL BE REMAIN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN IN THE WORLD HISTORY OF ALL TIME.
LENIN IS MY ONLY ONE HERO.
LENIN IS MY ONLY ONE ROLE MODEL.
IF THERE WAS NO LENIN IN WORLD HISTORY, THEN THERE WOULD BE NO HUMAN CIVILIZATION AS EXISTANT.
Your plagued ruined countless of idiot student lives
i do know that Stalin was not Lenin's top guy. it was Trotsky
And it was Stalin!
Can anybody tell me where can i get the background music when lenin entered?
this sounds a liiiitle far fetched!

Very good information sir.
Extremely inaccurate. You completely forgot about the provisional government, the communists' relationships, and the way things played out. And the Soviet Union wouldn't exist until 1922, and Lenin didn't take then out of the war within a couple days. Also how about THE GODDAMN CIVIL WAR,MI THINK YOU NEGLECTED THAT. I know it's not about that but just mention it Jesus.
Though they do make Lenin a badass, so... That's cool
What soundtrack is this ?
Terribly inaccurate. Lenin was in Switzerland when the Tsar abdicated. Lenin’s coup was against the Provisional Government not the Romanovs.
what's the soundtrack name??
I'm here for cool, badass, EXTREMELY BADASS Uljanov and hot Stailn😂.
The story is a bit misexplained, but,who cares, I've really loved the actors' job.
I mean, Lenin is my favourite history character and this actor has played his role so wonderfully and majestically
He didn't live to see his Communist utopia come to be since he died mere years after revolution
Oh dear. How did this ever get broadcast on TV? It's literally fiction.
Losif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvilli that is Stalins real name not Joseph Stalin and Lenin is not made as a weapon against Russia he is made to bring Russia where it is standing right now.
Sorry guys but this is historically incorrect. The Bolcheviks did not overthrow the Czar in the October Revolution. Czar Nicholas II abdicated in March (the February Revolution in the Julian calendar) after the army refused to fire upon a large crowd of striking workers and demonstrators in St Petersburg. A socialist Provisional Government was formed under Alexander Kerendky, but it was undermined by the more radical Bolsheviks especially after Lenin's return in April 1917. After a failed attempt to gain power in Jul,y, Stalin helped Lenin flee to Finland, and he did not return until October, when the Provisional Government was overthrown. The 'Palace Guard' were never there, as the ex-Royal Family had been moved to the Urals by Kerensky for their safety. The Bolsheviks later became infamous for the brutal murder of the former Czar and his entire family on 16 July 1918, displaying their complete contempt for Russian history and traditons.
You may wish to correct these errors. This is otherwise a very good telling of how the Bolsheviks were a foreign funded cabal, for whom the Russian people were just means to an end. This fact has, for whatever reason, been glossed over in the past, and has been a source of great misconception in the West. It feeds the stereotype that Russians have natural communist leanings, rather than the fact that Russia is a conservative Orthodox Christian nation with strong family values.
+Brettany Harrison Yep. Confront the History Channel. I just put this here 'cause I liked acting in it. I had no control over the actual content. :-)
+Brettany Harrison So, if all it takes have a revolution is $10 million and a train ride, why doesn't Russia have a revolution every few weeks? Obviously the foreign financial support was not the primary factor. The people were sick of the first world war, and the Bolsheviks were the only party that promised to end it. Secondly, the Soviets had sprung up as a kind of alternative government structure, and the Bolsheviks were able to ride them to power. --- You cannot dismiss the Russian Revolution as a foreign conspiracy.
Caleb Maupin There is a difference between long term planning towards a goal, and a 'conspiracy' to bring about a specific set of events. Many events, from long before the start of the Great War itself, were the result of different parties, with different agendas, finding common interests coincide, and then diverge. The seeds for the War were planted after the Crimean War, in the ongoing Great Game played out between Britain and Russia, as far away as China. The US had helped Tthe Japanese modernise its armed forces, and with Britain encouraged Japan to invade Manchuria to deny Russia access to a warm water port. Apart from the the ripple effects leading to the Pacific War, the Russian defeat by Japan in 1905, was a major defeat for Czarist Russia. The Jewish-Russian emigre and successful Wall St banker, Jakob Schiff was a major financial backer of Japan, and like many Jews that escaped pogroms in Russia, wanted to inflict damage on those they blamed for their persecution. Leon Trotsky had been cultivating potential financiers in New York for some time. Schiff also agreed to pay to print thousands of socialist pamphlets which we then given to Russian prisoners of war, along with food aid. Soon after there was a failed attempt by a coalition of groups including radical Bolsheviks lead by Lenin and the moderate Mencheviks to stage a revolution in 1905, resulting in many arrests and eventual exile for Lenin and Trotsky.
At the very least, many players both inside and outside of Russia, mostly radicalised and well educated from a non-religious Jewish background, committed revolutionary socialists, with collective anger for widespread Jewish persecution inside Russia, worked to bring about a socialist Revolution, where they would guide the un-educated masses. The exact sequence of events depended on the outbreak of war in 1914, German panic about the US entry for the Entente, even competition of sorts between the Bolshevik workers 'paradise' and the Zionist movement's successful lobbying Great Britain to 'liberate' Palestine from the Ottoman Turks.
Read the Wikipedia article,

and decide whether the October Revolution was a domestic or external project.

Фил Ярин нет это не пропаганда это история
Фил Ярин по крайней мере, я так думаю xaxa
Нет уж дружок, ленин - предатель
now germany regrets ww2 by sending lenin back to russia
The whole ploy to send Lenin back to his home country of Russia was a huge mistake since this whole strategy would later backfire only 20 years later
