A great historian and lecturer. His comments on the ending of WWI and Versailles Treaty are more insightful on the “setup” to WWII and more profound than anything I’ve heard.

Interesting about the role of the Cossacks as a force, and sometimes an in dependent force, in Russia. And interesting that Putin is trying to resurrect the Cossacks as a force to be reckoned with.

In view of the history of murderous ethnic and political violence freely engaged in by all sides as described in the video, the current Ukraine war seems devoid of that kind of ruthlessness. At least, I can't recall any such reports in the media by either side.

From the Revolution to 1945 tens of millions of Slavs were killed/murdered/starved to death etc. Ukraine today doesnt even come close. Not even in the same universe

Extremely ideological. The Monarchists, Ultra nationalist, Landlords, the privileged, the Aristocrats, Bourgeoisie and other reactionaries were actually victims and can not be blamed for the crimes of their army, unlike the Reds.

My opinion and views. Anthony Beevor gave his history books a public airing. I will give him a credit for qouting those mostly old British Empire/American books from memory. Like someone might sing a song and remember every single word in it's right place. Now to recite a book wheather factual or fictional deverves a credit for memory alone. We all know how big those old history books are but who wrote them and why. To indoctrinate or to educate? After all, that's why the British Empire published books. They did it to correct the wrongs.Truth is not a requirement. Any mature person that's lived knows that war is hell but civil war is Hell+.Everybody knows knows that Russia is certainly not the Russia of 1917 and it is definately not the Russia of the Soviet Union. I dont know if people undersdand what Russia is. We have listened to one mans take on history.There are many takes on history. This is 2024 and things are not good. The USA and British have the same view as this man on Russia.They are wrong. Very, very wrong. Yet today this is the nonsense we are faced with. There is no diplomacy with Russia whatever, at the time it is needed most.

This is such an interesting and important object but 20 minutes in, I am starting to despair a bit at the emotive and propagandistic narrative…..can’t we have a more objective and factual report of what happened? All war is violent, brutal and full of atrocities - what proof is there that the Russians were any worse than the Nazis or the British empire in this respect? If there is some, then give us this instead of this relentless innuendo and unsupported smearing. Based on his own writings, I have bo doubt that Lenin was a pretty unpleasant guy and I find this historians assertion of his 3 great lies to the Russian people fascinating but wait …what was this great internationalist class war that Lenin waged? I thought the war was perpetrated IN Russia…it is foreign armies in Russia, not the other way round - so what is the actual evidence for Lenins war making ? Please give us more objective, factual reporting than this emotive storytelling !!
