Hello. I've supported the 16 Days in Berlin project and am glad I did but I would like to ask what is the entry level of support required to get access to the digital version of the documentary ?(I know it won't be posted on KZbin). I had got the idea that 5€ was it but I am not sure. Any hint would help. Thank you .

[@shawngilliland243]

@The Great War - I like your name tag/credential on the screen, Jesse! Are there any reliable figures on how many who had fought in the White Armies survived after their capture and/or the end of the Russian Civil War?

[@xpavpushka]

Thanks for video. If you are asking "why reds won?" - maybe you should look into soviet sources. There are lot of memoirs and documents. Just sayin'

[@donfeloni3923]

Main reason why the Whites lost was that they didnt acknowledge any new countries. Had they done so, those new independent states would have helped them in provisions, manpower and fights (for example Estonia on the Petrograd push). Instead they sometimes ended fighting with whites... Big loss on the diplomacy side - or lack of it rather.

[@prospecial]

i love it, this time period really does not get enough attention

[@HistoryHustle]

So true! I am totally fascinated by this period. Lack of attention is partially because it is so complicated and also because it got overshadowed by WWII.

[@criscabrera9098]

It’s a mess I think that’s why and also well at least in the west this is almost not talked about all we are taught is there was a revolution and the Soviet’s came to power and they don’t bring up whites greens or blacks

Considering how massive this war was, it's strange that it's not as known as it should be

[@vguyver2]

It's one of the most important wars in history, but rarely do western history books cover it as there was virtually no effect on most western nation's. Out of all of these western nation's, the UK had the most involvement and doesn't mention their involvement in that much detail in regular carriculum. Infortunately there is even worse in the USA with there being little to no mention in US history books other then there was a civil war between white and red. The rest of the details of the war are only spoken in schools were once member states of the Russian led government or neighboring countries.

[@mikeromadin8744]

As a person who born and rise in the bloody soviet union i could tell that history lessons at schools was in favour of reds. As well roughly until 60-ies commies did everything to erase memories about WWI and whites. After 60-ies tide start to turn back.

[@nationradical]

Most complicated for sure: Whites, their Allies (Western powers, Japan), Reds, former Russian Empire republics (ie Estonia, Poland), Greens, and the Anarchists in Ukraine. The communist party may have won, but the people of Russia and beyond only lost

[@Shurikova666]

In Siberia, until now, the most evil dogs are called Kolchak. Because of the crazy inadequacy and cruelty of Kolchak's officers, Siberians massively switched to communists. In World War II, Siberian hunting peoples will voluntarily enlist in the Red Army. The Red Army will get excellent natural snipers and trackers.

[@explorerofunknownworlddept6232]

@@Shurikova666 same to the French revolution or Paris revolution or Chinese revolution, due to too many in poverty, no foods, shelters, and very basic life conditions. When talking about communism or socialism, try to be rational to analyze the real scenario during that specific era rather to be brain-washed like a donkey "Manchurian Candidate", full of hate. Many Chinese youth prior to 1949 also very enthusiastic about revolution although many of them were well-educated and from well off families. Majority of them went to Yan-an, under the extremely hardships to try to save China. Even they didn't know the actual future for their endeavors, they risked their lives by doing so from their strong faiths and pure souls. Got to understand why and how the Soviet and Chinese liberations were achieved in 1917 & 1949. Read more, understand further. This is a agreeable comment to you. Although later both Soviet and China didn't do that well, too complicated to say here. Too fervent in politics later on, that maybe one of the core issues.

[@explorerofunknownworlddept6232]

By the way, only pointed to the era prior 1949, or maybe including decades prior to the cultural revolution, after that, a mess, and very very corrupted to its core. No difference between the east bloc and west bloc in their super capabilities in manipulating and abusing powers. Politics r definitely dirty.

Being a Pole, do you know that Anton Denikin's mom was Elżbietа Wrzesińskа, he born in Poland and spoke polish fluently?! What i notified that polish historiography makes from him anti-polish monster. How person being semi-polish , born and rise there could hate poles? Actually he was just a good example of imperial person. By the way from the whites i more prefer Pyotr Wrangel, who was really better military officer and politician rather than Denikin, unfortunately he became a head of army way too late.

@@mikeromadin8744 nobody here cares about his mother was. Many russians were married to poles nad vice versa. Denikin wanted for all nations that gained independence to go back under tsars shoe. There was great anti-tsarist sentiment in all New republics, but Denikin wouldn't acknowledge this, that's why he didn't get any help. Also at this time Lenin was speaking about freedom for those countries, so whites looked like the 'bad' side of civil war. Nobody could predict what tragedy for world would reds become.

Any chance of an episode or series delving deeper into setting the stage of the Great War, like the influence of invasion literature on the public mind in the UK, anti-German effects of the Dreyfus Affair and the battlefield effect of the Redl Affair?

[@gmsherry1953]

Not to be critical, but I think you misunderstand the entire premise of the channel, which is to follow events in real time. Yes, the channel currently is describing events thematically, not strictly week by week, but it's still moving forward in real time. You're asking them to go from 1919 back to pre-1914. Have you watched the first few videos the channel ever posted? kzbin.infovideos?view=0&sort=da&flow=grid I don't know if they addressed your specific topics, but they did do 3 "Prelude to WWI" episodes. Or maybe you've watched those and are curious what Jesse's more detailed scholarship would produce on the same topics. In that case, I'm curious too, but I'm not sure they'll go back in time for us.

[@Oxtocoatl13]

Way back in 2014 they did a series of episodes concerning the conditions and the diplomatic crisis that led to the war. They're probably the first videos on this channel but I don't think they go too deeply into the cultural aspects.

[@thustra07]

Thank you. I was a young teen when Riddle of the Sands and a few other movies that originated from Invasion Literature were on HBO rotation in the US. Thinking about the effect the radio broadcast War of The Worlds had on the night of its premiere and the impact of Upton Sinclair’s novel had on the American meat packing industry I can not help but wonder about the policy and social impact of Invasion Literature. A genre popular in the UK until the outbreak of the Great War. The Russians having the Austro-Hungarian invasion plan and apprising Serbian intelligence of it from the Redl Affair seems to never get mentioned in accounts of the respective performances of the armies. I would like to see it addressed in English in my lifetime. I really hope to see these points discussed if this channel is willing. Even if other channels have done it I would love to see their take on these issues.

[@thustra07]

I was hoping for this channel’s more detailed scholarship.

[@gmsherry1953]

@@thustra07 You obviously know a lot more about this topic than I do, so I was probably foolish to reply in the first place. However, I will clear up one apparent misunderstanding. I was not recommending what some other channel had said about the pre-war period. I was linking to the videos THIS channel made, back in 2014, about the prelude to war. That said, I have not actually watched those videos (I came to this channel mid-war) so I don't know what all was discussed, but I doubt back then they went into the level of detail necessary to analyze the topics you listed. You're right, only Jesse would look at something that closely. But, to repeat, I wasn't sending you elsewhere, I was sending you back to the beginning of this channel.

[@tommy-er6hh]

A good episode for what you do cover, especially in the East and North - however, I noticed you totally ignored the Black Anarchist army in your speech, yet the video map clearly showed the "Black stab in the back of the Whites" in the southern front which supported the Reds. Really, do you not think it may have been a factor in the defeat? I am surprised you did not even mention it.

Semyonov (according to my father and my grandma) tried to marry my great great grandfathers wife (before they were married obviously) 3 or 4 times, but she refused because she was in love with my great great grandpa. He went on to be captured by the communists in late 1940’s/early 50’s in China as he and his family moved there to escape communism, but when they turned communist, they were captured and interrogated by the NKVD.
