Great video and videos. I just want to say I feel the background music was too loud. I feel it's ok to have music at the beginning or end of a video but I prefer not to have music in between so I can focus on the information you are speaking. I firmly believe generic background music is not necessary and people would rather hear you speak.

I doubt that was universally true. Alexander Soljenytsin was captain of his artillery regiment and his book The Gulag Archipelago makes the little respect he has for commissars obvious.

[@jakekaywell5972]

@@TheAtmosfear7 Then again, I would doubt the veracity of "The Gulag Archipelago" as a source. Infamous for completely faslified events and inflated numbers, such as counting the deaths of Nazi soldiers in battle and those of Soviet civilians during the Battle of Stalingrad as "victims of Communism".

[@robinfoxer9702]

@@TheAtmosfear7 Funny fact: I don't know how your communists feel about this, but our Russian communists are ready to tear their ass out of anger when they see Solzhenitsyn's last name. And when they see the title of his book "Gulag Archipelago", they spit and threaten to tear off their hands and feet and then shoot them. When they criticize anti-communism, they immediately take up Solzhenitsyn, naming him as an argument to justify the number of people killed under Stalin's regime. Only their hand rises only on him. They forget that this is an ordinary fiction novel that is based on the author's memories. Moreover, communists do not touch scientific works that criticize communism because their brains cannot understand it.

[@msmith1890]

Of course when Kolchak is mentioned Farewell of Slavianka plays. Also another great video.

[@robinfoxer9702]

I've always been amused by how the Communists use this Russian national song. Russian Russian Communists first destroyed everything connected with the Russian world and made Russians into a terrible shadow from them. But after the Great Patriotic War, no one wanted to fight for communism and the hypocrite Stalin returned the Russian attributes. Shoulder straps, churches, icons, titles, music. And now the farewell of the Slavs is Soviet music. Complete trash...

[@jakekaywell5972]

@@robinfoxer9702 I prefer Tri Tankista myself. Written in 1939, so no pre-Soviet influence there. Also, Suprematism and Construcivism were and are great Soviet art forms. In fact, most of my own artwork is heavily inspired by Constructivism.

[@robinfoxer9702]

@@jakekaywell5972 I see. I understand what these trends in art mean to you, but for me they are attributes of degrading mores. For you, it may be profound for me, these are ordinary drawings that are a waste of canvas and paints. Suprematism is shit because it can't compare with the pictures of the times of classicism. I am not one of those who looks at a simple square and ejaculates from this kind of screaming "deep". This is reminiscent of modern art where in museums you can pump up and exhibit this art and achievement of the 21st century. No wonder why the USSR took it. I have a sore subject about constructivism. In any Russian city there is this burp of architecture. Big and ridiculous, dust-covered, awkward monsters that were once presented in the form of supposedly modern architecture. These are just boxes that are arranged as if a baby broke a rock and made such a pile. They spoil the view of the city and this is complete tastelessness and shows the whole essence of socialism. The most terrible thing is that they stand with beautiful and beautiful buildings that are immediately visible to people built. And next to them are these Soviet freaks placed on every square kilometer by the Soviet government so that the collective farmers do not die from cold and hunger. Compare Kuskovo Manor and any constructivist shit. If you choose the latter, then you and I are not on the way.

[@jakekaywell5972]

@@robinfoxer9702 I disagree. You see, my family came from the Polish and Hungarian People's Republics and have generally fond memories of the USSR as it represented a big boost in culture, stability, and technology. Suprematism as an art form is not to my taste, but I see it does have artistic merit. Constructivism, however, is my single most favorite art style as you likely can guess by now (I even have a tattoo of El Lissitzky's Red Wedge, truly a seminal piece). It represents the bright, modern future in store for all of us, free of our baser instincts of greed and avarice. I also enjoy the challenge of conveying messages through simple geometric shapes, so I would say my own work is more creative than most traditional styles. Granted, they took a lot of skill to make and are impressive for their times, but largely outmoded by photography. Regarding architecture, I'm assuming you're talking about the Khrushchyovka apartment blocs. I agree with you there. Just efficient housing and nothing else. However, the prior Stalinka apartments and actual Brutalist buildings are masterpieces in their own rights. Take a look at the Russian State Scientific Center for Robotics and Technical Cybernetics for a better idea of what I'm talking about. Beautiful simplicity and elegance!

[@robinfoxer9702]

@@jakekaywell5972 I was away for a long time due to some reasons, but I will continue. Everything is clear. Your family is from the PNR and VNR, but you probably haven't been to the USSR. My family has lived in the USSR all their life. I understand that constructivism is cool for you, but for Russia it is a relic of the past. You can practice it on your own land, but it is not necessary for Russia. The pseudo-modernity of constructivism creates the opposite effect, showing the collective farm level of construction and complete tastelessness. By architecture, I perceive all Soviet constructivism. I don't even consider Khrushchevki as architecture, it's a shame. In a word, shame. A small cattle stall. Stalinki is the best of the worst for me. I was near the Russian State Scientific Center of Robotics and Robotics when I drove by car. This dirty stake could be seen from afar. He contrasts especially amusingly next to the Brezhnevs who complement this gray pseudo-modern style. I had a feeling only in the form of longing. All. The only building in the form of constructivism that does not cause me a gag reflex is the building of the Druzhba boarding house in Yalta. He looks more beautiful than his dirty brethren. Especially often these masterpieces were built on the site of churches and buildings blown up by the Communists. And these demolished buildings were really beautiful and were a work of Russian architecture. This adds even more injustice.

[@PakBallandSami]

At the beginning of 1919 the French and Italian governments favoured strong support (in the form of munitions and supplies rather than in men) to the Whites (as the anti-Communist forces now came to be called), while the British and U.S. governments were more cautious and even hoped to reconcile the warring Russian parties.

[@pascalausensi9592]

The main goal of the allies was keeping Russia in world war one (this being the reason they didn't care about the February Revolution). While the war was still ongoing the allies didn't oppose the Bolsheviks because they were communists as much as they opposed them because they were vocally anti-war. They probably wouldn't have intervened at all had the Bolsheviks supported the war.

The Cossacks didn't just randomly rebel again, the Soviets launched a coordinated genocide against them which killed 90'000 in cold blood but was unsurprisingly a terrible idea as the Cossacks unique social organisation made them capable of raising regiments of armed and experienced men at a moment's notice. "Their father, a priest and social activist who was very popular among the Cossacks, succeeded in escaping arrest and hid himself. The Bolsheviks gave him two hours at the end of which they would shoot his children if he did not appear. The priest appeared within the time, but only to see the corpses of his two children who had already been shot. He himself was killed on the exact same spot"- quoted in The Cossacks by Shane O'Rourke.

Ironically, the Russian people suffered harshly under their new socialist "overlords" if not worse than under the authoritarian rule of the Romanovs but not by much. Most Russians (and generally anyone who values stability & the illusion of security over freedom) are accustomed to authoritarian governments. If the decline of the West and stagnation of the East has anything to prove, is that NO system is perfect. Freedom and equality are diametrically opposed to each other, and there shall always be a "ruling class" who shall stifle "social mobility" in order to keep themselves in power NO MATTER HOW BENEVOLENT THEY ARE, and the people are DUMB peons that NEVER learn from history and shall always be a tool for the "powers that'd be" to gain more power and stay in power.

Lenin forcing the peace at 6:00 is one of my favorite little tidbits of history. I heard he did so because he genuinely believed that the Germans were nearing ‘full industrialization’. According to Marxist theory this would be the moment when the communist revolution begins in a society. Therefore, the revolution would take hold and create a German regime sympathetic to the communist revolution. With the purpose of the state in Marxist theory being to facilitate equality and then “wither away” of existence, it didn’t matter what state facilitated the revolution, because it was destined to dissolve anyway.

[@mad_scientist8673]

Said about Denikin's army, 2nd Cuban march and that there was the most elite forces but sadly not mentioned general Drozdovskiy, who organized this forces and performed his famous Yassy-Don march. We shall never forget that as well

[@robinfoxer9702]

But unfortunately, like any Western author, he relied on dubious sources. And from the point of view of a person who knows Russian history, it looks like a fairy tale. Sometimes he talks nonsense

Even if Nicholas was a tyrant and an autocrat I feel bad for him especially when his family were shot dead

[@eldartaghiyev8422]

Yeah. I feel bad for he and his famliy.

[@homeworld1765]

I feel bad for his son, daughters, and loyal servants. Nicholas did lead Russia into two needless and devastated wars ten years apart.

[@edwardweaver6869]

This is why I will never support leftist uprisings. There is no mercy shown for anyone perceived to be evil. man, woman, child or comrade.

[@dariuzz2410]

Our Russian Tsar was not a tyrant. This is a Bolshevik lie.

[@8-bitstream379]

I only feel bad for his children.

When you have so many OP officers they start becoming your rank and file you know you've accomplished the best army

[@kekeke6224]

Way we have been taught when I was a kid, there was a very specific reason for "odd" behaviour of Bolshevik's goverment during negations with germans. The peace negotiations with germans were led by Trotsky from the side of Bolsheviks, and they suspected germans to be losing the war any moment. This is why the Provisional Government led by Kerensky kept fighting Germany despite the war being unpopular and being the cause for the unrest in the first place. Bolsheviks understood that they must fulfill the PEACE promise to the russian people in order to survive as political motion, and Trotsky tried to reach both goals with a single shot by trying to buy as much time as possible being obscure and indecisive about the peace terms. Then germans realized whats going on and started a heavy pressure, and Lenin insisted on piece at any cost.

[@robertortiz-wilson1588]

Nice!!!

[@Ibrahimayas444]

I feel bad for everyone in this civil war

[@hugokapalko2727]

The Czechoslovaks were mostly men of the Czechoslovak legion under Masaryk and they were already fighting on the side of the white army during the first world war before the Russian civil war.

[@SaturnineRam23]

could we get a video on Red Army Commanders of the Russian Civil War like a video on Shchors

The Victory of the Bolsheviks was one of the greatest tragedies upon the people of Russia and in human history

[@tatianadashkova2143]

Are you stupid? Do you really thing that remaining an incompetent absolute monarchy would have been better for the citizens of the Russian empire?

[@itsve8632]

no its wasnt, the victory of the boshviks ment industrial in russia and a stronger and more better russia, the empire was worse than the soivets,

[@DM-mi4je]

@@itsve8632 industrial was well on it's way in Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union crippled it's demographics and culture by the massive genocides they carried out on the population.

[@minhphamngoc8675]

@@itsve8632 the german predict that if imperial russia continue to grow freely, it would surpass germany in 10 years. meanwhile the bolshevik had a series of unsucessful attempts at industrialising until one finally worked and millions didnt have to die

[@suntailore]

No no it did not and no it was not. The russian empire was on track to industrialise anyway and especially the krensky government was even better than that like it to Sheks china it would eventually democratise and industrialise without the need of the issue that come with communism
