The final scenes of Lenin (Patrick Stewart) in Fall of Eagles, documenting his return to Russia from exile in Switzerland following the February 1917 Revolution.
10:07 the final bit still astounds me. The sudden cutting off of the music and the dates for Lenins birth and death just plough into you how momentous this one man was. A couple of episodes ago he stepped into a room full of marxists nobodies milling about talking while eating pancakes, couple of episodes on hes about to take over Russia. That final freezeframe says it all, he gets off a train, and his place in history is secured forever. Just staggering when one thinks about it. The sheer will, the force of petsonality, the absolute disciplined ruthleness, his tactical genius, his almost superhuman understanding of opportunities and moments to strike. While every other european revolutionary, from Luxemburg to Lukacs, failed, he and he alone suceeded. What a momentous man. What a force of nature.
The number of great stage actors here is amazing, Sir Patrick Stewart, John Rhys-Davies, Tom Conti.....no wonder British productions are so good. They wouldn't make this series today.....too educational, not enough fluff.
@@SymphonyBrahms they wept of joy, thankfull for their liberation, the great victory against autocracy and fascism. Then, when the degenerate dictator Eltsine betrayed his own motherland and destroyed socialist democracy they wept as the shock terrapy caused 3 millions death and destroyed their country. When Eltsine named his successor, the dog Putin, they wept again fearing for their future. And they weep now, betrayed once again by one of their leader who send all the young men of the country to die in a useless war against their old brothers.
@@adrenalinmyride5634 You mean the millions of soldiers the Czar sent to die in the trenches but Lenin called them home with peace , land and bread. And delivered all three.
To be fair if there ever was a time to be a socialist, it would be after the replicator. Anyway they use labour credit in the Federation, which is kinda what modern capitalism is.
@@SakutoNoSAI Federation economy is never consistant. In some episodes, they have communism (no money is used), in others, they have weird credits (which sound more like electronic money ).
@Cool Goby Fish the federation in tng has a full communist economy (not like the communism we've seen in our history) but uses money when dealing with other civilizations
Somebody posted it here on RUclips. The words are about people being angry that the Tsar owned so many luxurious palaces while other people lived in poverty, and that people wanted to overthrow the Tsar and re-dsitribute his wealth to the people.
If I recall correctly, when the Iranian prime minister Moussadeq was toppled by a coup, the Shah was so scared that the people would resist HE fled the country, and only flew back when the deed was done.
Actually, that never happened. The provisional government fell apart, and the Bolsheviks just walked into the Winter Palace and took over the government.
@@SymphonyBrahms I kind of feel bad for Kerensky, the president of Provisional Government. He was also a socialist and wanted the best, but made a huge mistake by continuing the war with Germany. He never took part in the civil war and his hands are clean of blood. From what I've read, he didn't support reds nor whites.
If you still want to know what is the song about find "Worker's Marseillaise" on wikipedia. RUclips doesn't allow me to post you a direct link unfortunately...
@oliaiguambfigues76 Um, actually, this is how Lenin returned to Russia. The Germans were hoping to destabilise Russia to the degree that they'd drop out of the war.
Nancy Hey The original anthem of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic was the Worker’s Marseille, it was changed to the Internationale in 1918.
Sample clips of I Claudius. Bonus, John Rhys Davies is in it too. As are Derek Jacobi, Brian Blessed, John Hurt, George Baker, Sian Phillips, Bernard Hill…
Lenin...probably the only contemporary person on Earth. besides..no..not even Tsar Nicholas II..that could cause me to feel some empathy for Kaiser Wilhelm II..
@@miguelalmeida9771 Probably because he was a total badass. I think he said empathy when he meant pity lol(maybe I'm misinterpreting, pretty vague statement).
In terms of land conquered. We can consider Lenin as the greatest conqueror of all time. He conquered 20 million square kilometres of land. And fought against the white army and pretty much the world itself.
Before "The Internationale" caught on, "The Marseillaise" was the international revolutionary anthem, with the words changed to reflect the situation in each country. The Russian versions, which is quite stirring, refers to the Tsar. The US, British, and other countries, would have different lyrics, altogether. By the end of 1917 "The Internationale" became the standard revolutionary anthem, to which it remains to this day.
Brilliant speech, I thought. I say the same thing today to supporters of the Democratic party. That was the Mensheviks who were asking permission. Same kind of cowards.
@sondano I always find it delicious when the English play Germans and Russians (and Romans for that matter). They play it with such panache. Now, when the English play Americans then....
Lenin rose the the top because the provisional government and the other socialist factions were in such disarray. He was also ruthless. "Violence, murder; I'm in favor of anything that gives us power," he said.

True, I wouldn't put him in the same category as Joseph Stalin either. However, his repression of the Kronstadt Rebellion was a black mark on his record.

Damn, Patrick Stewart looks like Lenin himself!
Uncanny, isn’t it?
Jean Luc Picard was reincarnated Lenin
Def more so than Ben Kingsley.
I agree he’s spot on like comrade Lenin.
He looks a lot like the old murderer.
The number of great stage actors here is amazing, Sir Patrick Stewart, John Rhys-Davies, Tom Conti.....no wonder British productions are so good. They wouldn't make this series today.....too educational, not enough fluff.
They wouldn't make it nowadays cause there's not enough anti-communist propaganda
... meh, don't know. Def needs more car chases. Maybe they could get Michael Bay.
@@saschahoupt6177 Exactly. Just like Reds wouldn’t have gotten made today.
Patrick Stewart’s performance and uncanny resemblance made me believe that he was Lenin reborn😮😮😮😮😮
That's a strange Holodeck episode
Later, "Captain Riker" shows up and says "Communism… no you can't, don't even try!… Shut up, Comrade Lenin, as in close your mouth and stop talking!"
How the heck did this get leaked?
papa lenin putin is doing imperialism what shud wee do revolution ?
Julian Assange, who else?
Picard face palm at 4:00 lol
I've been a Patrick Stewart fan all my life. What creeps me out is his resemblance to Lenin. Intense.
"Revolution? Make it so!"
This is marvelous. It's been decades since I watched this. Exceptionally well done. I wept as the train pulled into the Finland Station.
The people in Russia wept during the next seventy years.

Did you weep for the millions of Russians about to die and be oppressed like never before under any tsar?

OMG! It's Captain Picard as Lenin!
One of the greatest actors to play Lenin.
Before Thatcher there really was a left in the UK, idiots call the BBC left wing now, but they would never make a show like this.

Thanks, yes, now I understand that it was actually used as a revolutionary anthem in Russia prior to the use of the Internationale.
Patrick Stewart is a Godly actor
Beam me up Trotsky!
Trotsky is the Socialist _Q_
PATRICK STEWARD! LONG LIVE LENIN! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Is that John-Rhys Davies as Zinoviev?!
Perfect casting, he looks like the slime ball he was.
Lenin was in Zurich. Castro was in Santiago. Khomenini was in Paris. When a government is overthrown, the new leader will be far afield.
If I recall correctly, when the Iranian prime minister Moussadeq was toppled by a coup, the Shah was so scared that the people would resist HE fled the country, and only flew back when the deed was done.
Storm the winter palace? Make it so!
Actually, that never happened. The provisional government fell apart, and the Bolsheviks just walked into the Winter Palace and took over the government.

Well done ! Only one , who knowes about history , can talk about the future !
How is Patrick Stewart only 33 years old in this?
he looks pretty young if you look close. no wrinkles. they just added some grey hairs to make him look older.
Stewart has hardly aged at all.
What an ignorant statement. Another brainwashed bourgeois.
Thanks !! ;)

Yes!(Is that the longest wait for an answer on youtube!)
Very good.
Is there a reason why they are singing "La Marseillaise" at the end rather than "The Internationale"?

Which biography are you reading?
In terms of land conquered. We can consider Lenin as the greatest conqueror of all time. He conquered 20 million square kilometres of land. And fought against the white army and pretty much the world itself.
Yes, so apparently what the Russians did was they changed the lyrics of La Marseillaise to make it about overthrowing the Tsar.

Zinovyev, Lenin and his wife Krupskaya at the beginning.
All of them were ruthless murderers.

La Marseillaise (French national anthem). Russian version obviously
You're welcome! I too need to learn to speak Russian, since I would love to visit Russia some day.
Why is the background music the French national anthem when the crowd welcomes Lenin?
The russian revolutionaries adopted The Marseillese as an anthem after the february revolution, changing the lyrics. It's called Workers' Marseillese.
thanks!
They are singing it in Russian, in case you didn't notice. It is a revolutionary anthem.
It was the first anthem before the internationale
They thought that he was Louis XVI.
Is that Stephen Fry with the cigar?
Nope. different jawline
He'd be amazed at not seeing Lenin's head by itself!
Stephen Fry was in his teens when this series was made.
In what sense

kinda payed off for Germany. pretty incredible. didn't matter in the end tough
I recognized at least a couple of them on that train who were destined to be later executed at the hands of Stalin's NKVD.
What a shame. Stalin was such a bastard.
I eat playdoh Revisionist nonsense.
@@SapphireCrusader1988 Stalin was a lot softer and kinder than Lenin.
Bruh, Yezhov controlled the NKVD and had a plot to kill stalin. The moscow trials are not kangaroo trials either
Lenin was just as cruel as Stalin. They were both ruthless murderers.
Lenin rose the the top because the provisional government and the other socialist factions were in such disarray. He was also ruthless. "Violence, murder; I'm in favor of anything that gives us power," he said.
And when he got the power, he murdered a lot of people.
Lenin was a minor Russian cafe-politician living in Switzerland until 1917. Who was the genius who saw him as an master of fate of world???
