Vladimir "Lenin" Ilyich Ulyanov and Leon Trotsky are two of the most well known communists today. But how did they meet and how did they rose to the top of the Bolshevik movement? And how did they manage to overthrow the Russian Empire? We take a look at their lives and their early days until the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

Trotsky sounds like a great successor to Lenin, I hope nothing bad happens to him
Trotsky stumbled and fell on an ice pick in Mexico while out looking to recruit members to his communist cartel. He did not make it, I'm so sorry.
How do you know we haven't gotten to that part of the story yet
Boy would the 60s and 70s have surprised him then
Trotsky wanted it very much. And people had no problem to accept somebody from national minority. Georgian for example
Spoiler aleeeert!!!!!🙀
Contrary to some comments below neither Lenin nor Trotsky claimed that they came from poor or proletarian families. Trotsky described his childhood thus:
"My childhood was not one of hunger and cold. My family had already achieved a competence of people still rising from poverty and having no desire to stop halfway. Every muscle was strained, every thought set on work and savings. Such a domestic routine left but a modest place for the children. We knew of no need, but neither did we know the generosities of life--its caresses.
My childhood does not appear to me as a sunny meadow, as it does to a small minority; neither does it appear as a dark cave of hunger, violence and misery, as it does to the majority. Mine was the grayish childhood of a lower-middle-class family, spent in a village in an obscure corner where nature is wide, and manners, views and interests are pinched and narrow."
@Eerimen Bzej Then who is the Stalinist Psychopath? Yes YOU!!
juniatapark54 I support this claim, I recently read this in trotskys autobiography
@Eerimen Bzej Just like many politicians at the time... Truman and Mc Carthy were at the same level of madness, and all those crazy "witch hunters" deserved the same treatment Trotsky got.
@LionHead84 Strangely the Russians working class agreed nobody forced them.
LionHead84 Strangely enough Russia went from one of the poorest countries on Europe, to a contender for the world’s Superpower
"There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen"
Revolutionary dialectics of Lenin, is the key to knowledge.
@@AlexandraBryngelsson No.
@@AlexandraBryngelsson I'd say it was the key to the Russian Revolution. To understand and properly asses the particular country's material condition, a revolutionary ideology should be crafted from Marxist Dialectic with changes and additions for the varying conditions.
Wise words from a monster who was comparable to Hitler.
@@warrioroflight6872 lmao
Wow, thank you for focusing more on the Russo-German negotiations. The fact you threw in personal history of Lenin and Trotsky made for an incredible story. Outstanding work!
We felt it needed more than what we could adress in the weekly episodes so far.
Marx, Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin could not predict that in 1989 John J. Rambo would overthrow Communism from Afghanistan...
Ha. Question how is the 3rd Rambo movie would you recommend it.
+Matthew Arenson Action: 10/10. Entertainment 10/10. Logic: 0/10
That's bullshit. Everyone knows, that USSR collapsed after Balboa V Drago boxing match.
+Besi Khobelava John J. Rambo's and Colonel Traoutman's campaign was the finishing blow...
No it was after the Delta Force movies, with Chuck Norris, came out
One of my favorite thing about this channel is how objective it is. There is no bias at all, and this is a topic that can easily have some. Thanks and awesome video!
if you look more closely you can see here and there that Flo dislikes communism. he is descreet but its there. specific comments that he likes, specific wordings etc

I'd challenge your assertion that, 'Unlike many, he (Lenin) did not believe that agrarian society would lead the inevitable revolution.' Very few marxist intellectuals in the late 1800s believed the first socialist revolution would take place in an agrarian society. Most predictions pointed to heavily industrialised states, such as Germany or Great Britain, as they featured large middle classes from whom the means of production could be taken and put to work on behalf of the proletariat. Tsarist Russia was an agrarian autocracy with a powerful aristocracy; the bourgeoisie had yet to fulfil their necessary role in Marx's historical model (usurping the nobility and seizing the means of production), and the proletariat were far from the underprivileged, factory town-dwelling masses he had in mind. The initial attempts at revolution in Russia would demonstrate this aptly - many country-dwellers, who had until recently been serfs, exhibited little interest in revolting.
Great channel and excellent content by the way. It's been a real pleasure watching how popular you've become.
It rang funny to my ears, too. I always thought that the agrarian angle only became (at least ideologically) prevalent once communism began to take root in China, Latin America and other heavily agricultural areas later in the 20th century.
Communism can only take root and be grown to perfection in a heavily industrialized nation. In such a nation, the capitalist bourgeoisie have eaten up all the wealth while millions and millions of workers are starving. This is the final phase before International Communism will take over the civilized world. Excellent example states to grow and harvest Communism: Great Britain and Germany. The starving millions and millions of workers will have literally nothing to lose but their chains. With the Communist Party in the vanguard, the workers will rebell and overthrow the tyranical despotism of capitalist bourgeoisie.
AudieHolland What kind of economic system requires another more effecient and innovative economic system to evenly remotly begin to work? Why would it need a system that communists claim is 'oppressive' and something that should be erradicated?
*Caleb Carrigan* Hush, Comrade.
I think he was refering to the Socialist revolutionary party.
After this WW1 series ends I think u guys should continue but with a post war Europe and when the time comes WW2.
Ditto
They are already prepping for a ww2 series.
That's maybe too much to ask from them, but the series could continue with till 1920, when they signed the peace treaties. If you guys from the show production read this, I'd be curious to hear your opinion about this.
how are they prepping for a ww2 series already? thats two decades away from happening.
You really think they will wait 20 years for that? Lmao that's not happening.
Ironic how a episode about Communism etc is uploaded on the 5th of March, the day Stalin died.
Ya he died in pool of his own urine.
And an episode about the other two great revolutionaries...
Knowing these guys they did this on purpose.
Indy is a secret red
MrRainbowッ i hate to be that guy but it isnt irony. Just a coincidence. Poetic maybe, but no more
I'm sure there's a lot of interesting stuff to say about all of the leading Bolsjeviks at this time. Maybe Bukharin and Kalinin don't have enough individually to talk about for very long, but collectively I'm sure it'd be fascinating.
Definitely candidates for an episode but it's also even more complex to talk about.
I would love to see an episode on Bukharin.

I loved how the video is super-packed with informations. You guys deserve millions of subscribers. Thanks for the hard work!
Been waiting for this one for a while! Thanks your the best
The leaders of both the March and October revolutions were from Simbirsk,Kerensky and Lenin.Strange such an insignificant place produce both such important men.
Thank you for sharing this this. I never knew. It turns that their families even were friends.
Steve Kaczynski interesting,such a small circle of people.The tsarist secret police should have had an easier job of weeding out potential revolutionaries,you'd think.
Kerensky important? He lived to 93 and that's all he did!
@Eerimen Bzej Their were two Revolutions in 1917. The Bourgeois Revolution in February which overthrew the Feudalist Tsar,and the October Revolution which overthrew the Bourgeois lead by the Bolsheviks with Lenin and Trotsky establishing the second Workers State. The first being the Paris Commune in 1871. Kerensky escaped with help from the US Embassy Car.
all hail our lord and saviour comrade indy
Trotsky was faxist
Hello there

No Trotsky was not fasict he was communist
Communism, Fascism, not much difference in the end. I'll stick with my free market capitalism that lifts more people out of poverty in a day than Communism has in it's entire existence.
Really want to take the moment and tell you how great your animations have evolved. Crazy seeing how much land the Soviets had to let go of
Wow how enlightening you are. Sheds so much light on all the stuff that really went on in history. Fantastic.
Gosh that's really funny.
First like and thank you for this series I’m in modern European history at college right now. World War 1 is very interesting to me. Thanks Indy and crew.

Such a quality channel!
Hello Indy, I just discovered your channel and have been addicted for the past few days. I might have missed a few videos but here is one that I don't think you have covered yet. What how much do you know about the "Wild Deserters"? Is it just a legend about soldiers from all sides living as ghouls, or is there some historical facts in there?
Quality content as always

This is our final

The Polish working class apparently took this the wrong way, rising up and shattering all hopes of a communist Europe in the 1919 war.
That translation is less than ideal. Billy Bragg has a better version.
@@kuba9680 The only time I can recall when Trotsky and Stalin agreed the time was not ripe for Poland. Lenin ever optimistic and a world Revolutionary persisted.
Stalin ever the loser was insubordinate to Trotsky and with held men and supplies to Tukhachevsky.
@@mikefay5698 the only place communism has any representation in Poland is with a handful of sheltered bourgeois homosexuals in Warszawa.
You’re doing a great job Indy!
A question for out of the trenches:
Was the general combat of the great war different in the colonies and the pacific theatre different than the trench warfare in Europe? If so, please explain in depth the contrasts of each different theatre to the combat in Europe.
If we get together enough Patreon money, I'll promise we will hire a qualified military historian to do a qualitative, comparative military analysis of all the theaters of WW1. I would estimate $2,500 would be enough to hire said person.
The Great War Thank you so much!
3:30 in -- Lenin was not "autocratic", he merely would not compromise on the need for the Marxist Party under czarism (where it was outlawed) to be comprised only of full-time revolutionary workers (people working for the revolution full-time). He allowed the category of Party supporters, but they could have no vote in such a Party. He had a Vision to build a tightly-knit body of effective revolutionaries to really get rid of capitalism (not just to complain bout it and protest against it). For his sticking to his guns on this point, the Mensheviks (who in ensuing years soon became hopelessly Reformist) judged him as "dictatorial" and "authoritarian" and "arrogant". Whereas the Mensheviks (and Trotsky often 'ran with them right up until 1916) did all sorts of back room deals and caving in to first: tsarism (their "liquidationist" phase, when they advocated, and tried their hardest to dissolve or "liquidate" the Party altogether), and then to capitalism, when they became out and out supporters of World War I.
So right there, from 3:30 in, I can see that this armchair historian just doesn't 'get' how revolutionary real Marxism is, and its big Vision to get rid of not only capitalism, but all antagonistic divisions between human beings.
@Stephen Jenkins Read my boy. Read!
thank you for providing us with unbiased history..
So often when looking at the causes of WW2 we blame the armistice terms but we seldom examine the terms the central powers demanded of Russia and central europe. Thank you for this insightful piece. I learn so much here.
Will you continue the program coverin 1919 and the transitioning conflicts durin the postwar era?
I remember the crew once said if they get a dollar every time someone asked this kind of question they'll have enough money to fund the show to the end of WWII
If anyone wants to see much of this in a dramatized series, I recommend BBC:s Fall of Eagles. Lenin is played by Patrick Stewart! Worth a watch for him alone.
Yes it was excellent before the BBC was addled and became the Bourgeois Broadcasting Company. Run by the CIA!
It is excellent! Now the BBC is simply the Bourgeois Broadcasting Corporation.
Like all the other media!

@@mikefay5698 Many critiques of the BBC call it 'leftist'. But nowadays it seems that the two have merged being that the leadership left seem to be upper middle class.....like Lenin, Trotsky and hang ten, Che. 😂
I remember it,excellent, before the BBC became the Bourgeois Broadcasting Corporation.
That was very informative...
A veritable font of knowledge this channel.
Please do Harry Truman! The only person to authorize use nuclear weapons in war fought in World War 1 and deserves an episode about him when you guys talk more about the US involvement in it!
Just for the people who may not know. The word “soviet” in English is the same but in Russian, German, and other languages there are two words. One is adjective and another is noun. A soviet (noun) means something like council, congress, or discussion, where people decide something. Soviet as adjective means TWO types of adjectives. One is referring to something that has this soviet-council as basis. Another is reference to belonging to the organization taht has word “soviet” in its title. So USSR has the word “soviet” in it as adjective and would better had been translated as “sovet-ary” or “soviet-ratic”. Something like a large meeting of soviet officials at Kremlin would have been a soviet as meeting/congress.
Keep up the great stuff
The July Days wasn't am attempt to size power, it was rather armed demonstrations by radicalized workers that were supported by the Bolsheviks but did everything they could to avoid the ultimate confrontation. Lenin understood that the revolutionary situation hadn't matured enough for a proletarian insurrection yet. Had the Bolsheviks actually attempted to size power at the time they might have shared the fate of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg.
This is what Trotsky said on the July Days: alphahistory.com/russianrevolution/leon-trotsky-july-days-1930/
I always watch your episodes
The February Revolution that removed the Aristocracy, was the Bourgeois Revolution, October removed the Bourgeois Kerensky by the Workers!
One name that is entirely absent from this is Joseph Stalin. Despite later claims he really didn't play that much of a role and didn't care at all about either Russia or communism.
I'm sorry but that's just not true. He play's a bigger role in the later history but was important in getting funds for the party and was by all accounts a commited ideological communist for better or worse.
It's important not to deny the Russian workers and soldiers their own agency. A lot of the time they were acting first and the Bolsheviks and others were playing catch up. Lenin's anti-war line wouldn't have been successful unless it was what the people wanted. The February revolution had been as much mutiny in the army and navy as it was uprising of the workers. Since the soldiers were already mutinous and deserting at will, as well as having formed their own elected councils, it is more extraordinary that Kerensky managed to keep Russia in the war as long as he did, than that the army effectively disbanded itself. And the Bolsheviks having remained true to the 2nd Internationale's anti-war line when so many others in the Internationale and in the Russian left betrayed their supposed internationalist principles, including the famous radical anarcho-communist Kropotkin of all people, lent Lenin so much more authority as a revolutionary from February on.
Anyone know what special episode he is talking about? It wasn’t linked in the description
According to Fred Sanford of the classic 70s TV series "Sanford and Son", a Trotsky drink consists of prune juice and vodka. I mixed up a stiff one once, just out of curiosity. While it definitely tasted better than I thought it would, it also definitely gave me the trots, so I guess it's aptly named. Gotta love Fred.

Indiana Neidell thanks for a fast answer!😀
Young Trotsky looks like Stranger Thing's Steve or Park & Rec's Jean-Ralphio.
Actually, my Polish friends dads grandmother met Lenin he claims. He told me they talked a little about the weather and what they were going to do that day or something, it was very brief anyway. He also said that he was very popular in Poland but I am not sure when this took place. Probably before the revolution.
Yes he was in Poland. He moved to Austria, finally Switzerland. He spent sometime in Poland!
He lived in Krakow and in a village near Zakopane in Tatra Mountains

A bizarre tale, one that the future might be able to piece together. The Romanovs were unworthy, Kerenski was unready, and on it went
You make it sound like the Bolsheviks seized power as a tiny minority and then kept it to themselves. In reality they timed they uprising for a meeting of a Petrograd Soviet, where they and their Left SR allies had won a majority. When Lenin asked the Soviet to ratify the seizure of power the Mensheviks and Right SRs stood up and walked out of the building. They chose at that moment to stand against the workers and the revolution.

"And was exiled to Siberia"
They should have send him to a gulag
ye lad
To be fair siberian exile is gulag on tsarist era
@@bintangyudha4777 Siberian exile is simply living in a small town or village, away from any political or cultural events. This has nothing to do with labor camps. Brodsky said that his exile was the happiest time of his life.
I wonder "What If' Trotsky had managed to come to power after Lenin. Would he have been able to rule well or would the job have overwhelmed him. It's an interesting question. Nice job.
he would've waged war i suppose. The older he got, the more Trotsky spoke of a "permanent revolution" and a world wide revolution that wouldn't stop until the whole world was socialist and the socialist world republic would be achieved. As we've seen in the polish soviet-war during which Trotsky lead one of the two armygroups (the other one lead by stalin) and during the russian civil war, Trotzky wanted - in the end - nothing more than litteraly steamrolling with the read army through the whole of europe and eventually the world until the socialist world republic was created. He was a dreamer, imprisoned in his utopia. Not a bad man at all. Not bad concerning his intentions at least but in reality, he would've probably done what Stalin didn't dare to do: Attack the Allies.
@@dershogun6396 Thats not what he wanted at all. An actual reading of trotsky writings would show that. Also you mention poland but famously it was Trotsky who said that they should sign peace with the poles after the Red counter attack whereas Lenin encouraged a continued offensive into poland itself in the hope of a polish proleterian uprising. Such a thing never happened and the red army was pushed back and Lenin admitted that he had been wrong
Well I do think that the USSR wouldn't be as ready for German invasion for several reasons.
Trotsky disagreed with Lenin and Stalin on the NEP period, the same program that brought the USSR it's place as worlds second largest economy.
(Someone correct me if I'm wrong) Trotsky was less willing to wage diplomacy with Western capitalists, contrasted to what Stalin attempted multiple times before 1940, it's important to note Soviets had access to British intelligence during the USSR's invasion against fascists.
@@Echani3007---Interesting way of looking at it. Thanks for replying.

It sure is.
Neat :D
writing a paper on the production and stumble upon their old videos and recognised your voice
Why'd you guys combined the bio for each of these two persons? I know they were partners, but each is significantly important and interesting in their own right so as to deserve a separate video. Not a criticism though, just a comment stemming from curiosity.
6:27 The Bolsheviks did form a coalition with the Left SRs, and they offered the Mensheviks and Right SRs the opportunity to join. At the time, they refused to recognise the legitimacy of the October Revolution. They said they wouldn't join a government with Lenin and Trotsky, and that the two would have to be removed from any official position. This was unacceptable. Lenin and Trotsky had lead the Soviets to power and reached out to the reluctant moderates, who demanded they back down.

I have so much respect for Sokolnikov. Having just finished a book that covers Russia from 1878-1928, at times he seems like the only sane figure amongst the chaos.
Imagine demonizing Lenin for making peace in WW1
Jason poof ?
Okay he made peace……how many bodies are on his hands he encourage the battles and war into Poland he forcefully retook a bunch of land that wanted to separate from the Russia and become independent and he helped to raise stalin lenin was a fool and monster he should been killed when tzar had a chance I wish the ussr never came to power
And also lenin made that peace to use the troops at home and busking up Russia and then turn around break that treaty and take those lands they lost to Germany not much of hero there
Read 'WaIl Street and the B0lshevlk Revolution', by Antony C. Sutton. Powerful book!
