While in Russian high school we were lectured about the beginning of Soviet union, we were told that there was Lenin and poof, Lenin died and Stalin rose to power, I was wondering how this happened, so I asked my history teacher. My question was ignored, I asked again, same ignorance. It only took me 4 years to find out, thank you <3

Yakutians are based AF, they live in some of the most brutal conditions on earth and treat it like it's nothing to them. Genuinely incredible people.

When talking about General Pepelyaev’s epic march on Yakutsk,it’s worth to mention his opponent-Red Army detachment commander Ivan Strod by name. He was of Latvian (Latgallian) origin and a great character. Yes, both were repressed. This last noble fight of Civil War was covered by Leonid Yuzevovich in his great “Winter Road” book, worth to read,not sure if translated to English but, for sure, to French.

I'd like to see a video on Baron Ungern-Sterberg and the Mongol cavalry division. I heard Chita and was reminded of this. Its one of those weird stories from history that's stranger than fiction, and is part of the Russian Civil War.

I signed up to Nebula a month ago, when you offered that "deal" on Nebula and Curiosity Stream. You can't beat the price.
@volition2015
Around 14 minute mark, I am assuming "Soviet power" was translated from "советская власть". This term also means "council government", as elected councils (soviets) of local/regional/national deputies had legal authority over their respective jurisdiction.

Nice fingerpointing there, Jessie :) You got it. Brought the image right back

This is why I love this channel the quality is always amazing
@Sermoms
Awesome video! Just wish the music was quieter :)
@TheBoyer19
Would have been interesting to see what the world would look like today if Trotsky was the supreme leader after Lenin
@Judasmac
Well done. I'd like to hear more about the policy and ideological divisions.
@Vraptor1
This is seriously one of the best videos relating to the Soviet Union I have ever come across. props to everyone who helped make this
@extrahistory8956
All that's left to talk about the Civil War is the brief conflict the Soviets had with Finland in 1921 and the Mongolian Revolution.
@Optidorf
Wow, just wow. This is even better than many so-called professional productions.
@TeeKayFourTwoOnebeta
Should've toned the music way down - it distracts from the documentary rather than enhancing it.

When you mentioned some of the White Russians ending up in California, I remembered that when I did research on my family history I found a census record from the 20's with my great grand parents and my grandmother. They had moved to California from Mexico but would end up living in a building (not sure if it was an apartment or tenement) full of Russians. I could tell by their names along with the language section of the census form saying Russian. There were quite a few Russians there and it was interesting to see my family share a common space with them during that time.

I love these documentaries.
