A documentary focusing on Tsarist Russia whilst only giving a brief overview of the revolution and reasons for it.
24 February 2021
This documentary mainly focuses on the path to the revolution rather than the reasoning behind it, criticising harshly many key members of the revolution it undermines the underground working that went on for many years before. Focusing mainly on Tsarist Russia this documentary only briefly explains the need for a revolution and the many attempts to achieve this. A rather biased account automatically undermining Stalin and his role and also leaving humongous gaps on the many different stances held by revolutionaries toward how the revolution should have been carried out, giving only brief clips of information on Trotsky and Stalin whilst completely leaving out other highly significant revolutionaries such as Kamenev and Zinoviev. Focusing mainly on Lenin and Lenin alone during the brief part in which the documentary actually focuses on the revolution years.
