Russia: Revolution and Civil War with Antony Beevor and Margaret MacMillan debuted on-screens during the 2022 Charleston Literary Festival. The four years of civil war in Russia (1917-1921) shook the world, reshaped Eastern Europe, and set the stage for conflicts whose consequences we are still living with today. In his gripping historical narrative, renowned British historian Antony Beevor conveys the drama of the civil war through the eyes of the people involved - the Czar, cavalry officers, doctors, workers on the streets, ordinary citizens - in a superb re-telling that illuminates and reframes that crucial period. He discusses the impact of the revolution and civil war on the conflagration in Europe with Margaret MacMillan, Emeritus Professor of International History, University of Oxford.

Thank you for this presentation. Just out of curiosity, do we know who’s going to be reading Anthony’s audio book?

Once again a great discussion on how this all happened. The Mongol's had a big influence on Russia. There was still a Khan until the early 20's when the Bolshevik's eliminated that Khanate. The Mongol's controlled most of Russia for about 200 years, and all their territories, with fear.

On Russia or on Ukraine?🤣

I think Antony Beevor goes a bit over the top in reflecting on Russian “barbarism “

Not at all. He was spot on.

Why does he keep repeating the thing with the Czechs being split up in three armies. There were no Czechs in the German army. I think he is mixing up Poles with Czechs here.

No Czechs in the Russian Imperial Army either.

Britain's bombings of Germany were in no way savage, the same way as Germany's atrocities in the Eastern front were not savage at all. Claiming that Russia is the most savage country on Earth in preposterous. As to the Russian casualties in WWII, one should compare military casualties (1,3 Russia: 1 Germany or 1,5 Russia: 1 Germany approximately) with military losses, not the civilian+military losses (Russia) with the military losses (germany). The Russian civilian population was just being eliminated by the Germans, as well as the Russian POWs. The latter way of comparing is pure propaganda, nothing to do with history. Bringing serfdom to the 2022 context is preposterous, too (anti-Russian bias). Also, no addressing of the methods of how Ukrainians reclute their troops.
