      History should be learned from primary sources, and peer-reviewed, fact-checked academic publications whenever possible. Most are too lazy nowadays to crack an actual textbook or access an unbiased scholarly publication (you may have to go some decades back to find such a thing) and read, or go inside a big building with lots of books inside it, called a "library." It can be quite risky to learn your history by watching UA-cam, reading Wikipedia, or Googling. Some history presented in these places is accurate, but some purposely skews facts, in order to influence thinking. Using online forums to influence opinions with inaccurate historical facts, is notoriously easy. After all, if the portrayal of a historical event is the only one the viewer has ever seen, then it would likely be accepted as gospel. The viewers have nothing else to go by. There is much LESS risk in studying legitimate primary sources for historical accounts, and reading reputable reference texts. Unfortunately, the planet now has an entire generation, many of whom have learned virtually all of their history on google or youtube, and who are absolutely certain of the accuracy of that history. Ten years ago I made the same observations on UA-cam and made the comment that, because of the rampant ignorance of history in our country, we are in for big trouble in the future. We have arrived at the future.

      Actually, only time, when Stalin REALLY had all power, and he was an dictator in the classic term of this word - is the WWII (or Great Patriotic War), when he was High Commander of Red Army.
      All other time he was just a First Secretar of Communist Party. He never maked any decision by only his own will, as dictator does. He just signed protocols, where all Politburo and High Council decided, what to do.
      Ironic, but in the modern "democratic" Russia president actually CAN make orders just with his own sign without conversation with anybody, and this order have highest power as law.

    What I see is how these historical leaders diagnosed the problems and I try to replicate it in my own society (I come from a remote part in India). While I follow their diagnosis to identify the evils and problems of my society but I never follow their disastrous medications which have led to death and agony for millions. For me, history and these big leaders and their ideology are all about learning to identify the problems and create a will to fight but not on their terms but in a democratic way and utilising our economic benefits.
    Peace and love :)

      GC_ 5 Again this is untrue. There is no correlation between opportunities and wealth. My father worked construction his whole life and made a meager living while raising six kids. Had nothing his whole life. I his son am about to finish dental school and will probably specialize in facial surgery. My uncle in the other hand started a tech company he sold for $40 million, died of cancer and left it to his 4 kids, and guess what? Less than three years later they had completely squandered it on blow and hookers. Doesn't matter where you start in America. All that matters is your effort and willingness to learn and take risks.

    As a Russian, I can say that this video is really close to the truth, but the reasons for the revolution were not so simple. People did not want just food or land, they wanted real power in the country to stop the exploitation of workers. As you can see, later many people in different countries began to want the same thing.

Yeah, and then got the house, but the door was there, which can broke down from a light blow, and even shall to wait a few years (maybe, 8-15 years) to get the house . A large part of Soviet history, the bread was not, even just the food was not. (1920-1950, 1980-1990)

We have already undergone that as described in this video; the results were atrocious. "One won't be loved by force", as the saying goes. We want peace exactly because we value human life and our loved ones' safety. Who needs freedom and democracy being dead or stripped of all held dear?
