Let me say only one thing here. The video says that it was likely that Lenin did not know of his mother's Jewish heritage. But in a recent Dutch podcast I heard a professor of history say that Lenin was proud of his part-Jewish heritage, because he admired some intellectual Jews and had a high esteem of them. So my point is: so many things are said on the internet without any reliable source and many of those 'facts' or strong assumptions are not true at all.

I think one should also mention those three assassination attempts on Lenin in connection with his change of mind in regards to constituent assembly and hardening of his overall position early in 1918. Counter-revolution emerged immediately after 1917 and Lenin felt that communists had to harden their approach so that they were able to deal with it better and save revolutionary gains for Russian society. You have to tie assassination attempts to Lennin's change of position in regards to the form of governing. Of course, forming of Cheka was a mistake as this monster was impossible to delete after the end of civil war. But one cannot judge Lenin here too much as conditions in which he and communists found themselves after 1917 were extreme and clear and 100% right solution was impossible to see. Situation must resolve quickly during volatile post-revolution year if one wants to have success. Add to this lack of resources for new commmunist government in terms of dealing with emergence of counter-revolution reaction. I also think that well-functioning bourgeois capitalist democracy wasnt possible in Russia at that time. It would've meant opening yourself to developed western capitalism that would have turned Russia into appendage, another "Africa", source for the rich European capitalism. Nobody would've let Russia to develop calmly into developed industrial capitalism. Russia would've gotten into same situation it got in 1990s. But way worse. So Lenin's idea was correct and only way at that point. To develop Russia into industrial country via centralized state governing. Russia would've never developed so quickly into industrial nation via capitalist profit-making logic. And people shouldnt forget the hostility of all European and Western nations towards Russia in 1920s and 1930s. Capitalists didnt want to have socialist state so close to their borders. And in 1930s Stalin really thought that England would invade Soviet Union any minute hence his paranoia.

A few notable propaganda type errors here and there, however. One being the characterisation of the October Manifesto reforms as a stage managed charade by the emperor's court. Could not be further from the truth; Russian parliamentarianism, from 1905-1918, was actually further ahead in some aspects than in most Western European countries, during the same period. The economy also grew exponentially since the reforms were officially inaugurated. Most if not all of Lenin's grievances, were entirely ideologically based. Historical enemies of Russia simply used his many rantings as material for propaganda purposes, to discredit Russia.

It is good to see a documentary on KZbin that doesn't show the Lenin and the Communist as bloodthirsty monsters, but gives a more or less impartial portrayal of Lenin and the Communists. Let us not forget that under the Communists, the Russian life expectancy, which was a medieval 30 years before the Communists came to power, matched the West at 65 years by 1960. The Communists moved their country forward by centuries in a mere several decades.

43:54 "a new Ukrainian state" requires the extreme clarification that it was only the Lwow/Gallicia/Volynhia region that was ruled by the self declared state in Lwow. When Germany collapsed it became a very venal anti-Jewish anti-Russian proto Nazi state that had only 13% or so literacy. There were competing and even more vicious racist bandit states in Kiev (Petlura) and Zaporozyhe (the so called anarchists who were basically rapists and marauders), plus Tsarists still in Rostov whose first move was to attack northwest to reconnect with Europe. The Lwow proto-Nazis were defeated by Poland. The others by the Tsarists. Then the Red Ukraine forces from Kharkov and the side-switching bandits - as at that time "Ukraine" did not include any Black Sea coast -took over from Tsarists whose last gasp was attacking Petrograd from Estonia in 1922.

Excellent exposition and narration. Thank you for such an interesting and balanced presentation of an intricate historical period and subject. We can never know how the USSR might have evolved had Lenin lived beyond 1924 but even if he had, Stalin would have been there, waiting, and all the time engaged in building up his power base. As ruthless as Lenin was, it is arguable that Stalin was more so, and would have, come what may, emerged victorious in any subsequent power struggle.

Answer elicited by narrator at end ( “ If Lenin had lived longer might a more benign Soviet regime have emerged?” : depends upon what the imperialists did , and most likely the latter would have combinedly resolved to overthrow the regime, and would have more likely succeeded in doing so to a less dictatorial one. Moreover, history since has told us how avaricious many influential foreign eyes have been upon Russia, right up to the present historical moment as I write of January 2023.

It is somewhat biased, presenting the early Soviet Russia in a more negative light than it was. They don't mention many progressive policies like women's suffrage and political representation of non-Russian nationalities - it was under Soviet rule and in line with Soviet policy when most of Ukraine's population actually began speaking Ukrainian, for expample. They praise the supposed 'free market' of the NEP, which wasn't actually a free market but a mixed system, and ignore the fact that under a later planned economy USSR was also one of the fastest growing countries. They overstate the totalitarianism, not mentioning the white terror, plundering of the countryside and authoritarianism of the White forces etc etc

This is incorrect. Lenin did not want Tito’s style of government or bureaucratic control such as what became of the Soviet Union. Unlike Stalin and Tito, Lenin was an ideologue and theorist first, meaning his goal was towards his ideal of complete control of the country by democratic-based workers councils which is what he always declared. The party would be what he declared which would be the guide for the councils never had the chance to dissolve in Lenin’s lifetime due to the constant struggle against opportunists within his party, such as Stalin, and counter revolutionaries on the outside during the civil war. A full transfer of power to democratically elected councils was not materialistically possible during this time and central control was necessary to retain the revolution. This inability to transition to full council lead socialism was exemplified by the New Economic Program in which privatization was allowed due to immense economic strain and instability of the country. Transition to socialism was not possible due to the lack of surplus in the country, as explained by Marx to be a necessary component to that transition. The stage of “workers employed by the state” as explained in What is to Be Done and the State and Revolution was just a transitional stage in which the country would be able to obtain the economic stability and surplus necessary for socialism and then eventually communism to exist. This never happened while Lenin lived, and if he lived to maybe past WW2, then full council based democracy maybe would have been achieved in line with Lenin’s vision, but even this is unsure due to the constant external economic pressures of the time. This is really the only materialist perspective of the matter, if not you are working in a idealist framework
