Watching the political turmoil in Russia in this show is kinda like watching star wars episode 3. You know the terrible events that lie ahead, but still hope that it could somehow turn out differently.
I know things are looking bad for mother Russia just now but i have a funny feeling that with Rasputin now gone and the Tsar free of his influence 1917 will be Russia's year. We'll be drinking vodka in Berlin this time next year.
Na, I'm sure Germany is going to kick everyones ass now! The war will be over until Easter, at most it will never last beyond next Christmas! Take my word for it!
my question was kind of rhetorical. I was just pointing out that Russia's withdrawal from the war was being engineered by people that belonged in neither category (it was a response to Александр Пахомов's first comment)
Valdagast The only book I have read in German "Er fiel im Oktober, an einem Tage, der so ruhig und still war an der ganzen front [...] im westen sei nicht neues zu melden"
you know, I was just thinking: "why does indy report on a trench raid, such stuff happens all the time" and then it hit me, this is literally "all is quiet on the western front", hundreds, maybe thousands of men died on a day and this was normal there, really makes me apreciate the underlying thought behind that sentence even more
nogmaffer I get what you mean. The German reading of the line (which A. Ekegard quotes in his comment) can be translated as "Nothing new to report in the West," which emphasizes the sad routine of the war even more.
What are you talking about there is a war going on. The meme wars are a dire conflict and we need your help conscript now! Say no to shitposting, and yes to dank memes!
Another trivia of the week: On December 25, the Church of Greece officially excommunicated Venizelos, and in a large public ceremony, cursed him (sic), enacting the medieval _"stoning of the devil"_
here, in Russia we weren't ever taught that russian government itself was preparing the revolution! but this fact explains why bolsheviks took the power so easily ...
Actually Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich and Prince Yussupov were exiled by the Tsar, despite pleas from members of the Imperial family. The tsar actually was very annoyed by their pleas. Because the two killers of Rasputin were exiled far away they both survived the Revolution, with Prince Yussupov living in Paris after the war.
Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich also lived in there. He was the only Romanov to gain admission to Great Britain, considered as a potential new Tsar, but he only stayed two years before moving to Paris.
Dragutin Dimitrijević Apis is arrested in Thesalonika around this time and trialed and executed early 1917, you should mention that. (He was the leader of the Black Hand and is the suspected supplier of arms to Gavrilo Princip)
I actually don't think he has mentioned Dragutin Dimitrijević Apis once in this series, which is really surprising, I would really like to see a bio on that guy.
This period in Russia is tricky to read about because of the Gregorian/Julian calendar difference. Some texts don't bother to correct the old dates to the new.. This problem will persist when trying to ascertain when exactly things happened in 1917 in Russia.
What an awesome cliffhanger!!!! Can't wait till next week!!!! (For a change, I'm not going to research what happened next. But it's probably something like "many tens of thousands of people got killed" ... man, war is a downer...)

I know this is two years in the future, but I came across a great story for Out of the Ether. Indy, have you ever heard of the Inkerman and the Cerisoles? They were minesweepers built in Ontario at the tail end of the war. The French government was so desperate for more able body sailors, they pulled out men from Flanders and retrained then as sailors. They set sailed for England on November the 11th 1918, the day the war ended. Ten days later then ran into a powerful snowsqual and vanished on Lake Superior. To this day, we have no idea what happened to them, not even a hint of wreckage. They remain the last warships to sink on The Great Lakes and the largest loss without any information in the French Canadian navy. In many ways its similar to the mystery of the USS Cyclops, another vessel that vanished in 1918. There have been many rumors about what happened since 1918. Some say they used wooden rivets to speed up construction. Some say they ran into reefs that had not been located yet. Some people theorize that they sank in what is sometimes called the Superior Triangle, yeah the Great Lakes apparently have there own Bermuda Triangle. Sea monsters, aliens, you name it, they have all been said to have killed those 78 men. Doesn't help that the French government has always acted weird about the sinking. They for some reason purged all records from naval archives and even flat out denied the sinking until 1921. I basically live on the Great Lakes and I somehow never heard of this story. I personally have never heard of taking frontline soldiers and retraining them, but as we all know, World War I was quite a strange thing. I hope you find this as interesting as I did.
Rogue waves on The Great Lakes can fairly adequately explain some of those disappearances. There are some great documentaries on the subject on youtube if you're interested.
Yup, I'm addicted to this channel. Indy is so watchable and the way he presents these facts and stories of War and artillery is just fascinating. 😍😍😍😍💜
Dan Carlin argued in his WW1 podcast that Erich Ludendorff was a principle player in fomenting the Russian revolution, by assisting Lenin in returning to Petrograd from his exile in Switzerland. I'm interested in whether you guys have any information or opinions on that, maybe in a later episode as events unfold.
Lenin's Bolsheviks effectively staged a COUNTERREVOLUTION in October after the popular uprising in May of 1917. The entirety of 1917 was pure chaos for Russia and it was no sure thing that Lenin, or Communism in general, or any one faction for that matter would win out at the time.
+Nathan Carriere I was under the impression that the October Revolution was not nearly the massive popular uprising it was portrayed as in Soviet propaganda, but more like a coup where Soviet paramilitaries overthrew the provisional government. It's a fact that the Bolsheviks were not supported by most of the Russian people- they failed to win even a quarter of the vote in the November 1917 legislative elections (right after the "revolution"). Was there really a nationwide uprising against the Provisional Government? I'm not saying you're wrong, but the evidence doesn't seem all there to me.
Lenin was in Exile in Switzerland and journied through Germany in a sealed train where no one was allowed off untill it passed out of Germany. The Germans may have allowed it through if they thought it may help to end the war. But I don't think Lenin was that big at the time that he was thought of as some one likly to end the war. It was likly not even a special train but just an ordinary transit train that regularly passed sealed across the country from the southern boarder to the northern. (So I do not know).
I like the Rasputin card @ 8:56, complete with skulls, infernal snakes and female angels stripped to their stockings. I'm surprised it hasn't been an album cover already.
Hey Indy and crew I'm a huge fan of your show. I can't wait for your coverage of Passchandaele next year and the lost battalion in the Meuse Argonne offensive the year after.
Happy New Year Indy and crew, I have a question for out of the trenches. How did the consumption of resources affect the lives of civilians and what cut backs did they have to make? Keep up the good work
The Great War hey Indy I got a question about Arabia in ww1.during the war,did different Arab tribes fight each other or did they fight the Ottomans as united army? Plus I got a idea for a who did what in ww1 video,how about prince Faisal.
You are doing a great job on this channel. I'm so impressed that I think your channel should be a part of school material available for the history lessons.
Dear Indy and team, though you said there was no Christmas truce. Were there soldiers who attempted a truce and what was the punishment for this if it was indeed done?
Intentionally increasing the tensions so that the soldiers returning can fight them is the worst idea ever! Just make sure they are always calm and happy. Even if you can't appease them all, it is a lot better than wasting time and more resources fighting a civil war.
American english pronounciation makes it sound like "sainai", even if it's not how locals or europeans pronounce it. Both are correct as most countries have translated foreign location names for local language.
Dear Indy and crew love the show and watch every episode as soon as they appear but I was wondering about the filed medicine on the frontlines and the differences between different nations medical practices because I recently heard a story of my great grandfather sergeant major Angus MacLean of the Cameron highlanders having bone fragments fired into his leg when a nearby grenade blew up much of the nearby soldiers a British doctor wanted to remove his leg but then a Belgian doctor stopped him and offered a quick procedure that allowed his leg to heal completely within a year and he went on to join the British SBS and fight in Berlin in ww2 I was wondering wether these kind of events where common with or not
Have you ever done a video of the 1916 easter rising that happened in Dublin Ireland? It's very interesting and technically it was a part of the war since the rebels were allied to Germany.
Thank you for the episode. During the episode many positions in the Russian government were discussed and persons are titled with "former". I think it make thinks clear if you indicated when to when persons held a position in the government in Russia. Got a bit confused
Interesting to see Russia flaring to life again, from the inside this time. Another year yet of war to come, though also another for the channel. :) Happy holidays everyone.
which are the sources for protopopov revolutionary conspirasies? It is funny that himself became a dictator the last days of the empire which overthroned by the revolution in march and found his death by Cheka in 1918...
The year of battles has finally come to an end. Now it's time for the year of revolts and revolutions! (I hope that's not a statement that will be applied to 2017)
A general query: During an essay assignment comparing the impact of WW2 to that of WW1 in Canada's identity and culture, I came across bits of information regarding Ukrainians interned in Canada and monitored similarly to how the Japanese were during WW2. This was allegedly due to suspicions that they would be sympathetic to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I mention this because I hadn't heard of it, my history teachers didn't know about it, and primary sources were difficult to find. It's unfortunate that such things are so easily lost to history. So I was wondering if there shall be a special(or several) on interned civilians in the belligerent nations.
In the book "Russian Roulette" by Giles Milton, it is suggested that the British had a hand in the murder of Rasputin. Oswald Rayner a member of Britain's Russian Bureau ( a part of what today would be MI-6) had been present at the Yusupov mansion and took part in the assassination.
5:53-6:45 But what if the military joins the revolutionaries? Or is too weak to crush the revolutionaries? Or simply doesn't stop the revolutionaries? There are a lot of ways in which this plan can go wrong.
Hey Great War Crew love the show. I was wondering will you be doing any who did what in world war one episode on any American soldiers like George Patton or Douglas Macarther?
dear indy and team thanks for al the hours of amazing knowledge my question is: did soldiers of new zealand perform the haka before a battle greetings from the netherlands - bart klaassen
bart klaassen Maori soldiers performed a haka before they attacked the Turks at the battle of Chunuk Bair at Gallipoli in 1915. On The Western Front most Maori soldiers were pioneers, building trenches etc, rather than infantry.
I have a question... why are the number of machine guns reported in the losses of a battle? Do they share calibers and ammunition across sides so as to be turned on the opposition? I get the idea of Killed, Wounded, and prisoners, but have machine guns become such an irreplaceable resource that they now rank with human losses? Love the Show.
I have a question for Out of the Trenches! First off, wonderful show and I want to thank everyone involved! As for my question, is there any real, non-staged or scripted combat footage or photos from the war? I know taking pictures in general was difficult back then, but maybe something was caught at some point?
6:10... i really had no idea of his starting influence... 6:24 that level of thinking has not gone away (think of Vietnam 70's, Iraq 90's Clintons Syria 10's)
hey indy, i was curious, since fighters and bombers started to become very vital to the war effort. How did pilots know that the enemy is launching them so that they can intercept since radar hasnt been invented yet
I would hope so as waiting for 2039 is not even possible given the influx of state sponsored censorship beginning to sweep the net. Do it soon guys, lot of politics in that one.
Hey Flo, I've asked this question before but I hope you'll see it this time. To those of us who has been with you for years we know about this channels stance on WW2. However what about the conflicts that directly (and shortly after) emerged because of WW1 such as the Finnish civil war, that was still going on during WW1. Then the Russian civil war. The Turkish War of Independence, and the Russian-Polish war. Will these be covered by this channel since they are all connected to WW1? With so many wars you might even be able to continue your timeline (a 100 years ago) since they start during and shortly after WW1 ends.
Why would you attack if you weren't 100% certain that your fellow generals would attack as well? Did Mackensen actually give his word to falkenhayn that he would advance? Or was it just assumed he would. It if was the former and he choose not to advance, wouldn't that be considered treason or something?
With friends like Protopopov who needs enemies?

In the book "Russian Roulette" by Giles Milton, it is suggested that the British had a hand in the murder of Rasputin. Oswald Rayner a member of Britain's Russian Bureau ( a part of what today would be MI-6) had been present at the Yusupov mansion and took part in the assassination.
Have you guys heard the Rasputin song? It's pretty good.
5:53-6:45 But what if the military joins the revolutionaries? Or is too weak to crush the revolutionaries? Or simply doesn't stop the revolutionaries? There are a lot of ways in which this plan can go wrong.
Hey Great War Crew love the show. I was wondering will you be doing any who did what in world war one episode on any American soldiers like George Patton or Douglas Macarther?
And Harry Truman. And lest we forget: Sergeant York xD
Protopov was deluded, his revolution was not the same with the other, many, revolutionary forces .
dear indy and team
thanks for al the hours of amazing knowledge my question is: did soldiers of new zealand perform the haka before a battle
greetings from the netherlands
- bart klaassen
bart klaassen Maori soldiers performed a haka before they attacked the Turks at the battle of Chunuk Bair at Gallipoli in 1915. On The Western Front most Maori soldiers were pioneers, building trenches etc, rather than infantry.
Hahaha I love the little cliffhanger at the end of the video, as if we don't know what's going to happen with Russia in 1917:')
I have a question... why are the number of machine guns reported in the losses of a battle? Do they share calibers and ammunition across sides so as to be turned on the opposition? I get the idea of Killed, Wounded, and prisoners, but have machine guns become such an irreplaceable resource that they now rank with human losses? Love the Show.
will we get a video on just how much fallout Rasputin's death had?
One of the ladies on the left of Rasputin at 5:40 has a mustache. I can't stop looking at it.
How much ammo did soldiers and privates had in battle? would be awesome to have an episode upon that
Honestly, Protopopov should be one of the most hated figures from WW1.
that painting after the German breakthrough of the Russians. were they using blue and red uniforms
You were making an episode about Ottoman Uniforms. What happened?
I wonder how you'll find my uniforms.

nice
Hi Indy and crew,one question did Puerto Rico (an island in the Pacific) participated with America in ww1?
Protopopov, woah that backfired
I have a question for Out of the Trenches! First off, wonderful show and I want to thank everyone involved! As for my question, is there any real, non-staged or scripted combat footage or photos from the war? I know taking pictures in general was difficult back then, but maybe something was caught at some point?
The Germans probably wrote that they captured those French lines just to boost the low morale of the defeated German soldiers at Verdun.
Hell yah brudda
6:10... i really had no idea of his starting influence...
6:24 that level of thinking has not gone away (think of Vietnam 70's, Iraq 90's Clintons Syria 10's)
Haw effective was a flametrower in battle I wanna know more about that please :D
As someone who knows a lot about both the war and baseball, what's the relation/etymology of "dugout"?
The Assassination of Rasputin OMG.
Are you going to do Korea week by week Vietnam etc?
It's been far too long since I heard of Luigi! We want Cadorna back!:(
hey indy, i was curious, since fighters and bombers started to become very vital to the war effort. How did pilots know that the enemy is launching them so that they can intercept since radar hasnt been invented yet
Hi Indy and team, I was wondering. What do you plan on doing with the channel in 2018 once the war is over (as of 100 years later) ?
Do The Great War have a project about WW2 in mind for 2019 or any year?
CKO4 They've said they will do it.
evil kid16 Where?

I would hope so as waiting for 2039 is not even possible given the influx of state sponsored censorship beginning to sweep the net. Do it soon guys, lot of politics in that one.
Hey Flo, I've asked this question before but I hope you'll see it this time. To those of us who has been with you for years we know about this channels stance on WW2. However what about the conflicts that directly (and shortly after) emerged because of WW1 such as the Finnish civil war, that was still going on during WW1. Then the Russian civil war. The Turkish War of Independence, and the Russian-Polish war. Will these be covered by this channel since they are all connected to WW1? With so many wars you might even be able to continue your timeline (a 100 years ago) since they start during and shortly after WW1 ends.
Indy , Ramnicu Sarat is not pronounced "Ramni-TZOO " (like it will be in Serbian, for example) but "Ramni-KOO "
This show is kind of like the Star Wars prequels. You can tell what’s gonna happen but you hope it can be stopped
Why would you attack if you weren't 100% certain that your fellow generals would attack as well? Did Mackensen actually give his word to falkenhayn that he would advance? Or was it just assumed he would. It if was the former and he choose not to advance, wouldn't that be considered treason or something?
Are you going to be doing a bio special about vladimir lenin?
Are you going to do something similar with WW2? Like go through everything week by week?
