Tsarist Oppression And Poverty: The Childhood Of Nestor Makhno (Animated History)

Starting a new series on the life of Nestor Makhno, a famous anarchist, one of the founders of the Makhnovshchina, a free state in Ukraine. Embroiled in war between the Soviets And Whites during the Russian Revolution.
Here we cover Nestor's childhood, his abuse by his employers, near death experiences, and early struggles with Tsarist crackdown.
We're trying to keep things objective, and unwrap history with multiple sources, while animating the whole process to make it entertaining.

CC captions are done, my gf voiced this one, we've wanted to work on something together for a while now, so I decided to try out a new style, based on those glue stick boards I saw as a kid.

It was a complicated period. I would have likely been an anarchist back then, but history has taught us better. Anarchism is very romantic, but impractical, and has only served the interests the rich and powerful.
