Sciences and technology in the beginning of XX century were developing at a fast pace: radio, electricity, cinematograph, automobiles… Millions of Europeans could hardly catch up with the swift scientific and technological advance and they were unable to surmise that something threatens their lives. But in 1914 a war emerged that humanity had never seen before. The first war of armored machines and airplanes, machineguns and poison gases.

The year 2014 marks the centenary of the start of one of the most devastating wars in human history, which claimed the lives of ten million soldiers and over twenty million civilians, changing the world and global civilization forever.
World War I shows the impact of the war on the nations of the Russian Empire - the extraordinary heroism, duty and honour paid by so many people to a country that underwent horrific ordeals to defend itself from outside enemies, only to collapse after being unable to solve its own internal problems.
Epic battles and attacks on villages, towns, cities and fortifications, air raids and cavalry campaigns, the use of poison gases and the first tanks are all recreated on an impressive scale.
And the latest technological and engineering achievements of the time - aeroplanes, airships, submarines, guns, tanks and armoured vehicles - all built to supply a terrifying new age of warfare - are brought to life with stunning and vivid CGI animation and special effects.

I had just seen this up to 6:00 before I paused and I'm already excited about this series. It looks like it's the same top notch quality as "The Romanovs" which was an outstanding documentary. I've already seen several other Russian made documentaries, recent ones and others which were produced many years ago and I have to say, Russians know how to make documentaries.

[@Rosa01010101]

If you think this documentary isnt biased also you are extremely naive

[@day2148]

Having seen documentaries and history-dramas from six countries thus far, I have to applaud the Russian ones as the least biased. The US / UK has a particular tendency to bury any "inconvenient details" that portrays themselves as less heroic while seizing all the glory (often their allies' accomplishments) for themselves, while blaming any mistakes their own people made on insidious actors. Meanwhile Russian documentaries regularly admit to their own leaders' incompetence/failings. Soviet Storm especially impressed me with its admittance to the sanctioned plunder of Germany (find me a single US doc that mentions the Morgenthau Plan on how they tried to starve Germany back into an agricultural society). The only thing this doc really made me raise eyebrows on is how it claims Nicholas II was the only one trying to make peace when Russia mobilized first (once that happened, the German high command had no choice but to launch since they were now on a timer). But hey, most UK/FR sources also also claim they were the only ones sensible in trying to make peace. Victor's Justice has turned Germany-blaming into the favorite pasttime of most WW1 historians. Still... love the attention to detail, like how most Russians were still illiterate before WW1, or how the cavalry at its start still used lances xD

[@htoodoh5770]

Von Staufenberg The Great War Channel, maybe?

[@htoodoh5770]

Day Y. Yeah, Russia did mobilised first provoking Germany to mobilised. However I think Nicholas and Wilhelm didn't want war, in fact there were a lot of people that tried to avoid war. In Germany, they were many that didn't want war, it was MAINLY the German military high command that wanted war.

[@JohnDoe-qq8ws]

[@RitaBaumann]

I love all these documentaries. Keep them coming. I love seeing the points of view of other countries.

[@FIRSTKAPOKMAN]

Superb explanation of pre-war scientific and industrial developments, the antagonisms between imperial powers in Europe and the unavoidable downfall into a massive military showdown of unforeseen, far-reaching consequences. Outstanding the technic of combining old footages and highly suggestive dramatizations. Undoubtedly, docu-series to be proud of. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@juandomingoperon7965]

This documentary proves that the American myth of Russian documentaries being bad and overly biased is just that, a myth.

[@ww2clips10]

@@marnickfox9891 It will be a FAILURE, just like what happened in Soviet Storm. The English narration on The Great Patriotic War or Soviet storm was biased and was more against the USSR, and the fact that they removed the most important parts in the series.

I hope you continue to make historical documentaries especially a fan of this period and enjoyed the Romanovs series keep it up, hope to see this series in English soon thanks StarMedia.

Russia went through hell trying to protect her little sister Serbia. if it wasn't for Russia and Crna Gora, we would've been erased from the face of the earth by Germany, Austro-Hungary and Bulgaria combined. thank you Russia for your help or I wouldn't have been typing this comment now.

[@kkaappyyable]

Dude, that man who opposed the war was the same man who came to parade in Bosnia ,which was mostly Serbian, on biggiest Serbian day, St Vid day....Thay man, Franc Ferdinand suported occupation of territorries where most people were Serbs....And do u think it is not weird that Austrians sent him to parade with minimum security+ they knew that atentate is planned....And investigation after that was lame....Even than, one murder is not the reson to destroy all Serbs, bcs one Serb killed Ferdinand....Princip was a Boasnian Serb and he had Croat and Muslim friends with him....War would happen anyway, bcs of colonies and money, murder of Ferdinand was not true reason!sry for english!

[@slypen7450]

Annie Oakley, a famous American sharp shooter, shot a cigarette from the mouth of Wilhelm on her European tour before the war. She said later, "I wish I had missed." In lamentation of all the lives lost. This is the first documentary I've seen that actually gets the cause of the war right. It was the tenth demand in the ultimatum that made acquiescence impossible for a peaceful outcome.

[@onesmoothstone5680]

[@fedorhub3089]

Тут про Радиона Малиновского упоминули. Я в школе прочел его "Солдаты России". Помню многое, например, что он получал 5-6 рублей будучи неквалифицированным рабочих, а его враг приказчик получал 15 рубликов. Потом война и где-то рядом был ингерманландский полк, почему- то запомнил. Потом Радион стал третьим номером в пулеметном расчета, потом Брусиловский прорыв, где однополчанин Малиновского прыгнув через окоп скатился вниз, и многие такую плохую примету посчитали предзнаменованием, оно так и случилось, в те же времена целый состав с чистым спиртом оказался без присмотра (мечта мечт), и тогда командирам пришлось идти на чрезвычайные меры, чтобы отвратить солдат от отвратительного упития и убития, они просто поставили на рельсы пулеметы. Затем в романе описывается война в экспедиционном корпусе во Франции. Прошло сорок лет, а события романа помню, как свою жизнь.

My theory is that the major powers of the time agreed on this war to bring Russia down as she was the sole superpower at the time. Seeing as how her "allies" dodged and ignored their responsibilities to the point of forcing Russia to fend for herself it all makes sense.

not a bad documentary. minus the minor tweaks to the actual facts such as that of Russia's Army being in top condition by the time the "great War" (later known as WWI) . it's well known that after the Russian-Japanese war Russia still in the process of recovering from its wounds. it was only after the Tsar was advised (wisely too) about how important was for Russia to aid Serbia that he finally agreed to give the order.

At 52:00 Marshall Malinovsky, I saw him in Hungary in the sixties. He was watching a military parade. Of course, we could not get close to him. He was an iconic figure, a great fromnt man of ll the Soviet Marshalls. Only Vorosilov was bigger than him. Zhukov was the real Marshall after all but he was not liked by Stalin.

A most interesting and certainly different perspective of WW1. Very biased, understandably towards Russia and contains many inaccuracies.

[@tvrz99]

not bad, but they carefully avoided major events they dislike, such as: after the communist revolution in 1917, the Czechoslovak legion about 60 000 strong were heavily involved in the Russian Civil War fighting Bolsheviks, captured city of Kazan and the Imperial state gold reserve and at times controlling the entire 9300 km Trans-Siberian railway and several major cities in Siberia; they held the railroad till September 1920 when they left for Europe via Vladivostok. I guess the material is worth mentioning or is it?

[@godfreecharlie]

There's an encyclopedic amount of materiel that is not covered here afrom all angles and filtered to accommodate viewpoints that will appease some people and anger others. Most productions are limited to some degree whether by financing or budget, time, and depth of the story. Maybe someday someone will be able to produce a 360 degree, all encompassing uniformly accurate depiction but that won't be soon.
