If anyone's curious about what became of Alexander Kerensky after he fled Petrograd, he managed to survive the Russian Revolution and lived a relatively peaceful life, outliving many of the significant figures of the Russian Revolution. Oversimplified didn't cover this, but after Kerensky escaped the Bolsheviks during the October Revolution, he fled to Pskov, where he rallied some loyal troops in an attempt to re-take the city. They managed to capture Tsarskoye Selo but were beaten the next day at Pulkovo. Kerensky narrowly escaped again and spent the next few weeks in hiding before fleeing Russia for good, eventually arriving in France. During the Russian Civil War, he supported neither side, as he opposed both the Bolshevik regime and the White Movement. Eventually, after Germany invaded France in 1940, Kerensky fled to the United States, where he spent the remainder of his life. He lived in New York City with his wife but spent much of his time at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in California, where he contributed to the Institution's huge archive on Russian history and taught graduate courses. He wrote and broadcast extensively on Russian politics and history. Kerensky eventually died of heart disease in New York City on June 11, 1970. At 89, he was one of the last surviving major participants in the turbulent events of 1917, having outlived Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, and all the other prominent figures who had overthrown him.

Just to point out Rasputin did not die from being poisoned, shot, beaten up, and from being thrown into the river. He died from hypothermia after he broke free and crawled out of the river.

Funnily enough, when the Soviets came to power, they dug up Rasputin and burned his body. Unfortunately no one had prepared the body properly, so when his ligaments shriveled in the flames, he sat up and scared the crap out of everyone. Good times.
That Rasputin death scene was hilariously accurate to the way it was originally reported. Although, i agree, it was likely done to make him look more like a threat, and less like a group of men ganged up to kill an unarmed guy with a very picklable pickle.
"Rasputin was murdered during the early morning on 30 December [O.S. 17 December] 1916 at the home of Prince Yusupov. He died of three gunshot wounds, one of which was a close-range shot to his forehead."

According to extra history, the assassins were so bad at their job that they bought fake cyanide from a scammer and non of them had ever fired a gun before that night. That’s how botched Rasputin’s assassination was.
Rasputin called their bluff He was aware of the poison, and already knew he wouldnt be affected. He didnt expect everyone in the room to turn into savages when the passive attempt failed
Funny story regarding Rasputin, after his assassination he was buried in a church cemetery which was later broken into by red army soldiers. They took the body to a forest to burn him and when they set him on fire he sat up and allegedly tried to walk lol. The reason for this was because you're supposed to cut the tendons when you cremate which shrink when they burn hence the "sitting up" part. I would have SHIT if I saw that guy sit up in his fire pit.
11:25 funny thing about Trotsky’s imprisonment was that he had only recently became a Bolshevik and so he wasn’t on the list of Bolsheviks to be imprisoned, so he went and outright demanded they imprison him as well.

Technically their name was "Women's Battalion of Death". These were all-female units created by the Provisional Government, mainly for propaganda purposes - to raise the patriotic mood in the army and to shame the male soldiers who refuse to fight. Despite their propaganda role, they took a limited part in the war at the front (yes, in Russia in 1917 everything was so bad).
King George V, Czar Nicholas II, and Kaiser Wilhelm II were all first cousins. In fact, George and Nicky looked so much alike when they were young that they were sometimes mistaken for each other at family gatherings. George is sometimes criticized for not doing more to try and save Nicholas and his family, but if he (a constitutional monarch) had tried to bring his (extremely unpopular and autocratic) cousin to England in the middle of a war… yeah, that wouldn’t have gone over very well. In any event, it’s not likely that Nicholas and Alexandra would have agreed to go, at least not until it was too late.
It does not have to be perfect to be good. At the 14:30 mark they talk about a huge battleship. It was NOT a battleship, but the armoured cruiser Aurora. A cruiser that was about the sole survivor of the massacre at the Tsushima strait back in may 1905. A historic ship that even today is floating.......!
2 officers: *poisons cake Rasputin: nice stuff. The two officers: shoots rasputin to death* Rasputin: GETS RESURRECTED AND CONTINUE AND RIPS ROOM APART
The aspect I love so much about world history, is the fact that each event is the eventual causation of another; like a timeline. It’s amazing and addictive.
Mike Duncan's Revolutions series has a brilliant pair of episodes that link everything that happened in the series since George Washington screwed the pooch at Fort Necessity to the background of World War One.
It's too bad that back in my school, history was presented in such a horrible way. Rather than understanding the story, we had to remember stupid thing like dates.... like who even gives a damn about dates?!
18:20 Technically, this list would be ; Capitalists, liberals, social revolutionaries, national separatists in Poland, Finland and Ukraine, independent warlords setting up chiefdoms, anarchist rebels, the "Green Peasant Army", the Cossacks, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Ossetia, Germany, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the British, the French, the Americans, the Japanese, the Mongols under a White Russian warlord from Brandenburg (Ungern Sternberg), Tannu Tuva, China and a legion of Czechoslovak soldiers who captured the Trans-Siberian Railway and stole the Imperial gold reserves. ..

@@heynowur9146 not for military, but for political reasons. The bolsheviks saw that revolution was on germany's doorsteps ans wanted to accelerate the process. One of the things they had to do for this was to show the true imperialist ambitions of german capitalism in pursuing this war. At that time the german generals didn't say it was a war for the conquest of land, but for peace and the self determination of nations. So if they stopped fighting without signing a treaty, one of two things could happen: either the germans didn't advance, which would mean that the situation in germany was already so unstable that the generals were afraid of attacking, that would have boosted morale in Russia enormously. The second option was that the germans would advance, but in doing so would reveal their real intentions, which were not peace and the self determination of nations, but brutal imperialist conquest. This revelation would have massive effects in the consciousness of the german masses. Lenin and Trotsky thought that if germany advanced they would still be able to quickly sign the original peace treaty. This calculation was mistaken, and they paid the price, but the main intention, of revealing the brutality of the german ruling class was achieved, and a few months later on the 3rd of november 1918, the german revolution broke out, effectively bringing world war 1 to an end. Sadly the german revolution failed, but that is a separate matter.
Maybe. But i think it's another joke about russians. I'm from Russia, and it's very popular in russian culture to joke about the mother-in-law (how annoying they are mainly)
My great-great-grandfather fought in the Tsar's Army during World War I, and after the October Revolution, he briefly served in the White Army. In 1918, he left the White Army after finding out about the Tsar's murder, and although he would spend the rest of his life in the Soviet Union, he never stopped being Jewish. In 1940, Stalin made him lose his job for no other reason than that. In 1953, when Stalin died, my great-great-grandfather petitioned Malenkov to give him his job back. Malenkov said no, so when Khrushchev took over, my great-great-grandfather begged HIM to get his job back. In 1956, Khrushchev finally said yes.
Rasputin used magic to survive in Siberia until the time was right to return. Only he couldn't use his name. So he removed the first 3 letters and ruled Russia forever more.
Revolutions always start off like that. Charismatic leader who offers hope to the oppressed. Past Oppresive government is overthrowed. New oppressive government installed.
This is pretty much the path that the extreme majority of movements devolve into if they become successful. When the preservation of the faction takes priority, it discards its values to survive at the expense of everyone else. Power corrupts super hard.
I think a good point of comparison is the French Revolution. You have an oppressive, outdated government, you a massive and certainly justified popular revolt led by people with radical new ideas for what to replace the oppressive government with, some of whom were no doubt true believers and some of whom just saw it as a path to power, you have massive resistance from surrounding conservative/reactionary governments fearing the threat to the status quo, which leads to the Revolutionaries being further radicalized, and you have the failures of the Revolution projected onto the the entire Ideology as proof of its failure. It's interesting, then, looking at the histories of the respective Ideologies, where you see that Liberalism was, indeed, synonymous with the chaos and bloodshed of the French Revolution for many years in Europe, allowing the reactionary Absolute Monarchies to stay in power, but eventually, a somewhat more moderate version of Liberalism did triumph, sometimes even through peaceful means. I imagine we'll see Communism/Socialism take a similar path in the coming century, especially with many people once again growing justifiably dissatisfied with the status quo. History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes, as the saying goes.
21:31 Stalin was actually very intelligent. He had a great knowledge of history, a great understanding of the political game, had an amazing memory, had a great understanding of tactics (though he would make occasional catostrophic blunders, like in Poland) and would read constantly. Stalin was many horrible things, but stupid was not one of them
Beside being intelligent he wasn’t much worse than 70% of rulers at that time. The fact that he was a tyrant is just a propaganda pushed by western countries just to distract people from the horrible stuff they did
Actually he only posts every three months or so... And all his videos are sponsored And this reality might just be a simulation meaning YOU might not even be real...
This just emphasizes that even if someone is a villain in one story, one is can always be the good guy in their own story, and that no-one really is the 'main character' or 'antagonist'.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey There lived a certain man in Russia long ago He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow Most people looked at him with terror and with fear But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear He could preach the Bible like a preacher Full of ecstasy and fire But he also was the kind of teacher Women would desire Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen There was a cat that really was gone Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar In all affairs of state he was the man to please But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze For the queen he was no wheeler dealer Though she'd heard the things he'd done She believed he was a holy healer Who would heal her son Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen There was a cat that really was gone Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on But when his drinking and lusting And his hunger for power Became known to more and more people The demands to do something About this outrageous man Became louder and louder Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey "This man's just got to go", declared his enemies But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please" No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms Then one night some men of higher standing Set a trap, they're not to blame "Come to visit us", they kept demanding And he really came Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen They put some poison into his wine Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine He drank it all and said, "I feel fine" Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen They didn't quit, they wanted his head Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine And so they shot him 'til he was dead Oh, those Russians
2:50 fun fact: basically, they did try to poison Rasputin. But the guy who was supposed to put the poison in ended up feeling bad and didn't poison it, so Rasputin was fine. Then they sh0t him and, just to be safe, dumped him in the river, but they ended up finding scratch marks underneath the ice, like he'd been trying to claw his way out. Basically, the dude was next to immortal, and for that reason I have a cat named after him that looks and acts like the female cat equivalent of a crazy homeless guy.

Stalin was more before being secretary During the revolution he was in charge of lenin's newspaper and during the civil war, he was the commander of the armed forces
I love Rasputin's story because it's completely bonkers. If you would release a film today about the queen of one of the largest countries on Earth being influenced by what's basically a giant unkillable sex wizard, no one would take it seriously because it sounds completely made up
@@loturzelrestaurant you might think they would run out of willing gulag guards at some point, but human nature being what it is the slave labor political prisoner camps were still running at least through the 1950's
I highly doubt you'd be able to answer questions regarding the topic after watching a video. Simply because a history video keeps you engaged, does not mean you'll be learning much from it
Fun fact: Russia at the time was so incompetent, that the army gave its soldiers the wrong kind of ammo for their guns, meaning they were effectively overly bulky paperweights
@@loturzelrestaurant You are either a troll or a brainwashed 10 year old. The 20th century, when Russia really used the tactics of throwing conscripts to death, is not the whole history of Russia
Fun Fact: The US, UK, and Japan vilely took advantage of Russia's weakness due to the revolution to invade, kill countless civilians, and rob the resource-rich Far East
"He had done everything he could to keep all the power for himself, which left him with none." He became so powerfull that the only thing he feared was loosing his power, which eventually of course he did." Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Nicolaues the Second ? It's ironic.
"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Tsar Nicolas, the unprepared?" "No." "I thought not, it's not a story the communists would tell you, it's a White Russian legend. Tsar Nicolas II was a Tsar of the Russian Empire with so much power and authority, he could use his newly built factories to influence his economy to create...stable growth. He had such a knowledge of how to keep his power and knowing Rasputin he could even keep the ones he cared about...from dying." "He could actually bring a peasant into the Russian nobility?" "Having a stance in the Russian nobility is a pathway to many abilities, some considered to be unnatural." "What happened to him?" "He became less and less powerful, so the only thing he was afraid of was...losing his power, which eventually of course he did. Unfortunately, he decided to lead his troops on the frontline what gave his provisional government a chance to seize power. Ironic...he could give power to other individuals, but lost it himself." "Is it possible to get this power?" "Not in western societies."
@@pog16384 fun fact, nothing was poisoned, the assassins literally forgot to poison the wine, that is the real reason Rasputin didn’t die from poisoning.
I have my history documentaries on a playlist, and I order the videos by rough chronological order of the topics. OS's WWI videos are sandwiched in between the Russian Revolution Parts 1 and 2, and it's so interesting to see the evolution of his videocraft in such stark terms. That said, I like that he opens this video with the same visuals for the archduke's assassination that he used in the WWI video. It feels like he's giving a high-five to an old buddy he hasn't seen in awhile.
Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian extremists by 2 gunshots to the head. The Serbs in Austria-Hungary wanted independence and another nation, Serbia helped the extremists out. He was in his open car when the first attempt failed of throwing a bomb. It got thrown on army officials and ministers on the cars following him. Then, in a seriously stupid move he turned around to meet the hospitalized officials. The same guy who threw the bomb met him on the way, and shot Franz. Then this one killing started a whole world war.
the war was always going to happen regardless of Franz Ferdinand being killed, some other crisis would have started it, tension was caused by germans trying to supplant the british and french as colonial masters, russia had always hated and funded nationalists in the balkans, it always explodes like that fertilizer storage in lebanon (if a terrorist didn't blow it up, something would eventually)
This is a perfect revision introduction:) I haven't been revised the Russian revolution in quite a while and my exam is tomorrow so this is a great refresher!
He was a great military leader and a charismatic speaker, but a terribly poor diplomat. And more importantly White Army was funded by the imperialists, they were terrible in handling a war.
A website literally named after a popular german war cry and heraldic slogan claiming daft shit like *bankers* backing *the Reds,* holding up the whole fash "Judeo-Bolshevik plot and Jewish bankers" bullshit, and LITERALLY CALLING THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION 'THE JEWISH REVOLUTION'? I don't give a damn about the descent of the author of this nonsense, even if he *is* of Jewish descent and this ain't just some wafer-thin excuse to make this horrible horrible rhetoric more palatable, get the fuck outta here with this fashy bullshite.
@Kincaid7 That sounds very much like fascist propaganda. It's not even disguised. And there is no way on god's green earth that any bank would have supported the reds. Alternate take my ass, calling the Russian Revolution the "Jewish Revolution" is a take that only a literal Nazi would have.

Funnily enough, when the Soviets came to power, they dug up Rasputin and burned his body. Unfortunately no one had prepared the body properly, so when his ligaments shriveled in the flames, he sat up and scared the crap out of everyone.
Good times.
Thanks science
He was also alive days after being shot and left outside in the snow.
AtheismDies actually the autopsy showed that rasputin had died from being shot in the head which happened before he was dumped in the river
Maybe Putin will do the same.
@Marissa Lopes, I see the comment you wrote so many times... SO really. You're the one copying someone else's comment.
That Rasputin death scene was hilariously accurate to the way it was originally reported. Although, i agree, it was likely done to make him look more like a threat, and less like a group of men ganged up to kill an unarmed guy with a very picklable pickle.
From what I understand, the part about the poisoning not working could very well be true due to low quantities and poor quality.
@AR - 09UR - Heart Lake SS (2462) all valid options, but I guess we shall never know. Unless Rasputin comes back, again, to tell us.
"Rasputin was murdered during the early morning on 30 December [O.S. 17 December] 1916 at the home of Prince Yusupov. He died of three gunshot wounds, one of which was a close-range shot to his forehead."

Funny story regarding Rasputin, after his assassination he was buried in a church cemetery which was later broken into by red army soldiers.

The reason for this was because you're supposed to cut the tendons when you cremate which shrink when they burn hence the "sitting up" part.

"The palace was guarded by a force named "Battalion of Death"..."
"...who immediately gave up"
Technically their name was "Women's Battalion of Death". These were all-female units created by the Provisional Government, mainly for propaganda purposes - to raise the patriotic mood in the army and to shame the male soldiers who refuse to fight. Despite their propaganda role, they took a limited part in the war at the front (yes, in Russia in 1917 everything was so bad).

King George V, Czar Nicholas II, and Kaiser Wilhelm II were all first cousins. In fact, George and Nicky looked so much alike when they were young that they were sometimes mistaken for each other at family gatherings. George is sometimes criticized for not doing more to try and save Nicholas and his family, but if he (a constitutional monarch) had tried to bring his (extremely unpopular and autocratic) cousin to England in the middle of a war… yeah, that wouldn’t have gone over very well. In any event, it’s not likely that Nicholas and Alexandra would have agreed to go, at least not until it was too late.

@@staticalelectricPhew atleast someone gets it...
@@staticalelectricso why did he stop fighting
@@heynowur9146 not for military, but for political reasons. The bolsheviks saw that revolution was on germany's doorsteps ans wanted to accelerate the process. One of the things they had to do for this was to show the true imperialist ambitions of german capitalism in pursuing this war. At that time the german generals didn't say it was a war for the conquest of land, but for peace and the self determination of nations. So if they stopped fighting without signing a treaty, one of two things could happen: either the germans didn't advance, which would mean that the situation in germany was already so unstable that the generals were afraid of attacking, that would have boosted morale in Russia enormously. The second option was that the germans would advance, but in doing so would reveal their real intentions, which were not peace and the self determination of nations, but brutal imperialist conquest. This revelation would have massive effects in the consciousness of the german masses. Lenin and Trotsky thought that if germany advanced they would still be able to quickly sign the original peace treaty. This calculation was mistaken, and they paid the price, but the main intention, of revealing the brutality of the german ruling class was achieved, and a few months later on the 3rd of november 1918, the german revolution broke out, effectively bringing world war 1 to an end. Sadly the german revolution failed, but that is a separate matter.

In 1918, he left the White Army after finding out about the Tsar's murder, and although he would spend the rest of his life in the Soviet Union, he never stopped being Jewish. In 1940, Stalin made him lose his job for no other reason than that. In 1953, when Stalin died, my great-great-grandfather petitioned Malenkov to give him his job back. Malenkov said no, so when Khrushchev took over, my great-great-grandfather begged HIM to get his job back. In 1956, Khrushchev finally said yes.

The fact that communism started out as a way to make things better then became a way to dictate and control is actually pretty fascinating to me
Revolutions always start off like that. Charismatic leader who offers hope to the oppressed. Past Oppresive government is overthrowed. New oppressive government installed.
This is pretty much the path that the extreme majority of movements devolve into if they become successful. When the preservation of the faction takes priority, it discards its values to survive at the expense of everyone else. Power corrupts super hard.
I think a good point of comparison is the French Revolution. You have an oppressive, outdated government, you a massive and certainly justified popular revolt led by people with radical new ideas for what to replace the oppressive government with, some of whom were no doubt true believers and some of whom just saw it as a path to power, you have massive resistance from surrounding conservative/reactionary governments fearing the threat to the status quo, which leads to the Revolutionaries being further radicalized, and you have the failures of the Revolution projected onto the the entire Ideology as proof of its failure.
It's interesting, then, looking at the histories of the respective Ideologies, where you see that Liberalism was, indeed, synonymous with the chaos and bloodshed of the French Revolution for many years in Europe, allowing the reactionary Absolute Monarchies to stay in power, but eventually, a somewhat more moderate version of Liberalism did triumph, sometimes even through peaceful means. I imagine we'll see Communism/Socialism take a similar path in the coming century, especially with many people once again growing justifiably dissatisfied with the status quo. History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes, as the saying goes.
That's why they're trying to ruin everything now

Because that takes effort
My history teacher showed us his ww1 video for American history 9
I highly doubt you'd be able to answer questions regarding the topic after watching a video. Simply because a history video keeps you engaged, does not mean you'll be learning much from it
@@pubs6506 fun tho
@@pubs6506 no this gave me a lot of information
Fun fact: Russia at the time was so incompetent, that the army gave its soldiers the wrong kind of ammo for their guns, meaning they were effectively overly bulky paperweights

In soviet Russia ammo have wrong type gun.
@@loturzelrestaurant You are either a troll or a brainwashed 10 year old. The 20th century, when Russia really used the tactics of throwing conscripts to death, is not the whole history of Russia

Rasputin is like a weird footnote in history that everyone knows about
You can thank Boney M for that.

"He had done everything he could to keep all the power for himself, which left him with none."
He became so powerfull that the only thing he feared was loosing his power, which eventually of course he did."
Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Nicolaues the Second ? It's ironic.
It's not a story the Stalinists would have told you
Oh Prequel references my favorites are
"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Tsar Nicolas, the unprepared?" "No." "I thought not, it's not a story the communists would tell you, it's a White Russian legend.
Tsar Nicolas II was a Tsar of the Russian Empire with so much power and authority, he could use his newly built factories to influence his economy to create...stable growth.
He had such a knowledge of how to keep his power and knowing Rasputin he could even keep the ones he cared about...from dying."
"He could actually bring a peasant into the Russian nobility?" "Having a stance in the Russian nobility is a pathway to many abilities, some considered to be unnatural."
"What happened to him?" "He became less and less powerful, so the only thing he was afraid of was...losing his power, which eventually of course he did.
Unfortunately, he decided to lead his troops on the frontline what gave his provisional government a chance to seize power.
Ironic...he could give power to other individuals, but lost it himself." "Is it possible to get this power?" "Not in western societies."
Rasputin: *eats a butt ton of poisoned cakes
Russians: Were you killed?!
Rasputin: Sadly, yes. But I lived!
I understood that reference.
@@andreasanchez9453 don’t r/whoosh me but a fun fact
The wine was poisoned
I laughed at the joke for34 mins
😂😂
@@pog16384 fun fact, nothing was poisoned, the assassins literally forgot to poison the wine, that is the real reason Rasputin didn’t die from poisoning.
@@deeznoots6241
That's one reason, another is that the poisoned they used was old and less potent.
I have my history documentaries on a playlist, and I order the videos by rough chronological order of the topics. OS's WWI videos are sandwiched in between the Russian Revolution Parts 1 and 2, and it's so interesting to see the evolution of his videocraft in such stark terms. That said, I like that he opens this video with the same visuals for the archduke's assassination that he used in the WWI video. It feels like he's giving a high-five to an old buddy he hasn't seen in awhile.
Everybody gangsta until Rasputin resurrects himself in 2020.

This assassination of Ferdinand sounds much like jfk, convertibles are BAD
Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian extremists by 2 gunshots to the head. The Serbs in Austria-Hungary wanted independence and another nation, Serbia helped the extremists out. He was in his open car when the first attempt failed of throwing a bomb. It got thrown on army officials and ministers on the cars following him. Then, in a seriously stupid move he turned around to meet the hospitalized officials. The same guy who threw the bomb met him on the way, and shot Franz. Then this one killing started a whole world war.
Well how else are you gonna show your support of the dirty, worthless peasants, to the dirty worthless peasants?
@@sumedhshah7047 yeah convertibles are unlucky for national leaders
If only they’d thought of the Popemobile sooner!!!
the war was always going to happen regardless of Franz Ferdinand being killed, some other crisis would have started it, tension was caused by germans trying to supplant the british and french as colonial masters, russia had always hated and funded nationalists in the balkans, it always explodes like that fertilizer storage in lebanon (if a terrorist didn't blow it up, something would eventually)
This is a perfect revision introduction:) I haven't been revised the Russian revolution in quite a while and my exam is tomorrow so this is a great refresher!
you know shit’s gonna go down when oversimplified’s voice drops

Being a good general doesn't mean you're a good diplomat lmao
I’m impressed
He was a great military leader and a charismatic speaker, but a terribly poor diplomat. And more importantly White Army was funded by the imperialists, they were terrible in handling a war.
A website literally named after a popular german war cry and heraldic slogan
claiming daft shit like *bankers* backing *the Reds,* holding up the whole fash "Judeo-Bolshevik plot and Jewish bankers" bullshit, and LITERALLY CALLING THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION 'THE JEWISH REVOLUTION'?
I don't give a damn about the descent of the author of this nonsense, even if he *is* of Jewish descent and this ain't just some wafer-thin excuse to make this horrible horrible rhetoric more palatable, get the fuck outta here with this fashy bullshite.
@Kincaid7 That sounds very much like fascist propaganda. It's not even disguised. And there is no way on god's green earth that any bank would have supported the reds. Alternate take my ass, calling the Russian Revolution the "Jewish Revolution" is a take that only a literal Nazi would have.
