@@aquilarossa5191 I went to Penwortham too! I think it was 1970-1971. My first teacher was Mr. Cole, who would eat whole oranges in a single gulp. My second teacher was Mrs. Loganathan. It was a pretty rough school but they excelled at chess.

On Thursday night we were planning our day trip to London. I said to my husband, what if we bump into Joolz, he said no way, do you know how big London is?? And we laughed. We couldn’t get parked in Brent Cross, took us ages to find a space. Missed two tube trains, finally getting on one. So we’re sitting there and this tall fella gets on. It was Joolz. And sat next to my son. Talk about surreal. Our boy is so chuffed that he met you Joolz, and we are too. Thanks for all your brilliant content, we always thoroughly enjoy! And this one is no exception! Very interesting! 😁😁😁

I love the theatre scenes in this one. Simon looks just the part! A wonderful episode, thanks for making and sharing!

[@stablefairy9437]

King George V (the present Queen's grandfather), the Kaiser and NIcholas II were first cousins. Toward the end of the 1st world war, the Hohenzollern (German) dynasty began to collapse along with the Austrian Emperor who lost his throne. George V was very concerned about losing his own throne and about his German connections, which is why the Royal Family's name was changed to 'Windsor and why he did not allow his beloved cousin Nicky to come to London as he thought the move would have been seen as unpopular and could have destabilised the British throne.

[@janebaker966]

Not very noble of him.

[@simonolsen9995]

Poor German Monarchy. Talk about policy blowback! I wonder if the Kaiser ever knew that his government secretly financed Lenin's return to Moscow. What a treat that worked. Got the Czar out of the war in no time. Ha!

[@Joolzguides]

Thanks. I didn't really have time to go into this in the video so I just made a joke of it instead. The whole period is extraordinary.

[@jfilm7466]

And where was all the financing coming from? 🤣😂🤬 You have to laugh or else you'll cry.

Thanks, Joolz ~ Fall Of Eagles series from the 1970’s was an excellent history of Lenin and his cohorts in London.

[@odem5856]

Another brilliant work. Just when I think you can't outdo yourself. Growing up in the USSR there were a lot of things we were not aware of about this guy's activities abroad. The role of Trotsky and 'men'shevics', for example was completely altered in history books for many decades to come. A great lesson about politics of politics for future generations if you ask me.

[@Boabywankenobi]

Ahh a Sunday treat from the excellent Joolzy. I'm actually moving back to London in a few weeks, can't wait to go to a few of these pubs. I'm sure you are inundated with video suggestions, but you really excel with historical knowledge of pubs. 6 part series, 6 pubs an ep each ep set in a different part of town recounting the events/patrons etc.....I don't see how the BBC could turn that idea down [i've seen the rest of their content!]. Anyway, as I'm moving to Primrose Hill, I'll leave a drink behind the bar for you at the Engineer to say thanks for all the great content!

[@Joolzguides]

Thanks. It's tough doing pubs because they get funny about people filming. Not sure why..i mean they let people film on phones.

[@brianjrichman]

Well, that was truly a video and a half! It "sparked" interest in reading up on the Russian Revolution again for me.

[@mavisemberson8737]

[@janebaker966]

I'd love to do one of those ladies tours round next summer.

[@paulfryer1099]

Scotland Yard may have seen these Russians as a threat, but I read a story once about the 5th Congress (or was it the 4th!). Some East End lads were apparently harassing these revolutionaries as they entered the building for their meetings. The Revolutionaries complained to the local police, and the next day a London bobby was sent down to the outside door of the building where they were meeting - not to keep a check on these Russian revolutionaries - Lenin/Stalin/Trotsky etc, but to make sure that they could go about their business without being cat-called or assaulted by the local troublemakers! How British is that - we sent a copper down to thse revolutionaries, not to make life more difficult, but the make sure they are not hassled.

[@anonUK]

@John Ashtone Even Lenin thought Stalin odious and nasty- but couldn't stop him as he was suffering severe brain disease brought on by acute stress and Trotsky was far more interested in fomenting international revolution than anything as mundane as running the USSR.

[@roeng1368]

@John Ashtone Lenin hadn't even made it back to Russia, but he sent on an order ahead that the Kulaks should be purged. Having two cows when the other farmers had one was enough to make you be classed as a Kulak. Literally the first act of the communists was to kill off a whole group of people.
