And the 14 nations invasions and the white terror and the bourgeois lock out and the Kornilov uprising and the whiping of soldiers by tsar officials and the "prima nocte" rigths for noblemen over peasants and a lot of things more. but is a cartoon for children
lol it wasnt because a division of white army was heading to the city that the tsar was captive in and because they feared they would free him they decided to kill him
Robin Hood is considered a man who would steal from the rich and give to the poor........wrong. He stole from the government to give to the poor. He was against all social injustice and political tyranny regardless of idealogy be it fascist or communist; right wing or left wing. Robin Hood, had he lived in 1930's Russia would have opposed the monstrous economic and political policies of Stalin and try to help the the oppressed suffering under his regime. Stalin would've made Prince John, Robin's archenemy look like a boy scout. Stalin' nickname during the early years of his life was Koba, a Georgian Robin Hood from Soviet Georgia, Stalin's birthplace. But as we know Stalin was more like Prince John than Robin Hood and his German and Cambodian counterparts Hitler and Pol Pot. And John's cruelty was not just against the poor, but also Jews and feudal barons.
The part where Lenin suggests getting some money for the Tsar's crown jewels is actually true! In 1920 delegates from the newly created Irish Republic and the new Russian Soviet Republic were in New York trying to get international recognition for their new countries. The Irish Republican delegation had just had a massively successful bond auction in the States and the Soviets looked to get some of it to help in their civil war against the Whites. They offered the Irish some of the Russian crown jewels as collateral in exchange for a war loan, the Irish agreed and were brought back to Ireland to be kept in a small Dublin house that Bram Stoker was born in - seriously! In 1920 Ireland was still under the occupation of the British so needed to be hidden. Later the Irish Govt kept them in a military base. Apparently everyone forgot about the loan until 1948 when the two countries agreed to end the contract. The Soviets repaid the $20,000 war loan ($273,003 in today's money) in exchange for getting the Tsar's Jewels back.
@@whenyournameisduoduos1282 It's really hard to define Communism is the problem. While there is a pretty clear idea of fascism, not so for communism. Marxist, Leninist, and Stalinist communism is all very different. Stalin didn't care one whit whether the peasants starved or not. maxy very much did, but while he had a very clear economic idea (clear, not good) he barely even touched how the government could work. Remember that evein with Lenin the proletariat did not seize the means of production. Lenin had a coup and killed the monarch. Then he started a vote to choose the next leade and only got a quarter of the votes. Then he just dissolved it and took total control. I still wonder what might happen if a democratic society tried to implement Marixan communism. I don't think it would go over weell, but surely not as badly as how China, Russia, and North Korea turned out.
"We're sick of war, it makes everyone dead!", to which Lenin replied, *"Everyone including the Romanovs."* Fun fact, Lenin had an Irish accent, thanks to the man who taught him English being himself Irish. Wish we had more history-centric shows like this one. This, Horrible Histories, and Liberty's Kids are phenomenal
I wouldn't say it's a historical show. What could this series show the historical? History is a hard science and just to say the tsar was overthrown is not very correct.
@@НикитаКалмыков-э5ъ Because you only watched this one clip, Sherlock. I didn't say historical, I said history-CENTRIC. I've seen this whole show. This show is meant to be a comedic take on history Animaniacs style, and is not meant to be taken seriously.
@@AverytheCubanAmerican I had a little issue with the cartoon, but, it's heart was i the right place. My beef was it was aimed at younger kids, but they mixed actual facts and wacky cartoon silliness with no differentiation between what was historical and what was not. Sure, you and I could tell, but little kids, not so much. Still, that aside, Histeria was a worthy edutainment program.
@@Babbleplay Lenin had an Irish accent...... fuckkkkk. (O.o) whyyy ?... oh. ok... *covers my eyes with my Kombrig Cap. Thats Very Russian. Learning Gaelic... *sigh*. Real Russian history is a mind phuk for all, A paradox. U may take your Beef and fry it over the flames, of revolution someday; good sir. u might be able too in 6 years or so.
Vladimir Lenin did not overthrow Tsar Nicholas II. He was out of power by the time Lenin came in charge. Lenin did overthrow the provisional government.
"My career is shotsky!" famous last words...I am glad my grandpa's anti-Japanese guerrilla movement in Korea was backed by the Soviets. They made the right decision by selecting my grandpa to become the new leader of the country. He might not have unified Korea, but he and my father did a dang good job rebuilding it from scratch, and it is an honor to continue their legacy.
I don't think they did.They did say 'In 1917 the revolution began". & since the February 1917 revolution happened in 1917, I think it's safe to say that it's covered.
The babies are actually, "Big Fat Babies" that have poopy issues, so they smell really bad, too. Usually, in other clips they have a year banner thingy and say the word "Poopy!"
Some inaccuracies 1:40 - Lenin did not over through the Tsar. While Lenin was exiled in Switzerland for speaking out against the Tsar the Tsar was over thrown and a provisional government was made. The Provisional Government unfortunately didn’t follow up on the whole peace part and they continued WW1 and continued losing to the Germans. This made them unpopular so Lenin was brought to Petrograd by the Germans and he over through the provisional government. After this a civil war followed. 1:47 - Actually, it was quite the opposite. The Russian Crown was considered to be worthless so it wasn’t sold or anything and it was kept in an armory instead, where it still is today. 2:20 - Nicholas II was not sent to some prison. He was sent to house a long with his family in house arrest. It was at first very luxurious but when Lenin came into power their living standards were lowered. Nicholas and his family were later executed by firing squad in 1918.
Also the song states that for 300 years under the Tsar everything was fine but then the rich people started eating all the food. Which is just an incredibly funny way of ignoring 300 years of Russian history full of peasant revolts, failed revolutions, assasinations, officers’ plots, etc.
I'm fairly surprised by how sympathetic this show was to the start of the russian revolution. (Stalin still gets shown as a monster, but that's because he kinda was a complete monster.)
@@Dudeidkmypassword This animation was made almost a full century after this happened... unless you're joking. The October Revolution was in 1917, this song was made between 1998 and 2000
I attended a conference about the Russian Revolution in college, and they talked about the Russians' wish of peace land and bread. This song started playing in my head lmao
And then Lenin became crazy and ill, so his best buddy in the whole wide world, Stalin, took over the URSS and made it into the paradise we know it as today.
+JasminLeblanc Such a good friend that he wrote a testament that called for, among other things, the removal of Stalin from his position as General Secretary.
Uh, why is a public school teacher playing pro communist propaganda to children? If they were playing a nice little tune about Hitler and "international Jewish Finance" I doubt she would have gotten away with it...
Lenin: get it? stalin?! Lenin a few years later: Tell whoever's in charge of giving people's job, not to let that jerk Stalin be in power, by the way, who did i put in charge of giving people jobs? Random advisor: that would be Stalin sir... Lenin:....**dies**
“And then right after, during the civil war, the tzar and his family we tried to hoard. Once we decided why we weren’t fed, we took them to the basement and shot them dead!”
Looking back this is uncharacteristically quite positive towards the Russian revolution. I don't think any media asides from this has been. It's really surprising.
well, this is a cherry song about a violent revolution that lead to a brutal civil war that lead to a age of terror where even speaking out against the government was punishable by hard labor in a Siberian labor camp
@@kosta.d7388 Certainly more than they had in Soviet Union and with much, much more short line to get that few left! Millions died for starvation under Lenin and Stalin! The others were massacred in their homes or in the streets and sent to die (for starvation, cold, labor) and be killed in gulags instaurated by Lenin in 1918! Commie exposed, bas**rd!
So tough were the repressions of Lenin and Stalin that the death rate, according to statistics, went down? And the birth rate by 1920 reached 137 million, 1935 170millions which is a record? And yes, when was there a famine in the USSR, in the Volga region after the civil and First World War? When, as in the Russian Empire, a huge famine was allowed in peacetime in 1890. Tales about 1,000,000 million killed 1,000,000 starving do not need to be told. All repression lists have long been opened and there are no such figures. Besides, the surprise with so many dead and starving was where the second revolution was? Why wasn't I, or any other of my ancestors, repressed at all?
And what other camps under Lenin, What kind of reign did Lenin in 1918 if he, as the leader of the country, began to rule only in 1920. Lord, teach history, a young fighter against communism
2:05 this relationship between Lenin and Stalin is somewhat accurate as Stalin was made secratary (assign jobs) and Lenin wasn't exactly a fan of Stalin, as on his death bed Lenin: hey man, tell whoever is in charge not toblet that jerk Stalin come in charge, by the way, who's job was that again Attendant: that would be Stalin sir Lenin: *Dies* Other Fun Fact: the song at the start is Polyushka Polye (A russian song about a man leaving for the red Army)
“For three hundred years this guy called the tsar ruled” Well the Romanov dynasty ruled for three hundred years but tsars ruled Russia for more then a 900 years
"We peasnets got upset and we started to brood" 7,000,000-12,000,000 total casualties, including civilians and non-combatants quite the brood you have there
For everyone saying this is a load of crap. It's not showing what Russia was like under communism, it's showing how the revolution was caused (although it treats it as one instead of two, in between there was dual authority between a Soviet (socialist groups) and a Provisional Government (which was made up of wealthy men who had had high standing under the Tar)) Lenin was able to successfully take over by promising the people of Russa "Peace, Land and Bread", something no other party was doing. All of this is true. It will most likely have come from an episode which I expect would also have covered (at least roughly) what happened after the Bolshevik takeover.
@@SelfProclaimedEmperor this is 4 years old but lenin actually stabilized their economy. Lenin wasn't the best person but he was a pretty damn good leader
and Trotzki did all the work .... lenin just came back from banishment in 1917 and trotzki was already ready for a revolution. lenin was just way more popular
@@baronbrummbar8691 That's right. The day The second revolution started Lenin spent lying on the floor of his hideout and Trotzki was coming from time to time to tell him how's it going.
@SWAGsire ye That's still not against work He was not about making them slaves either He basically wanted a world run by goodie two shoes who were willing to give and work for the greater good Actually ants is a good word for it
Vladimir Lenin *laughs* And what happened under Communism in ever other Communist country is also Stalin's fault, I suppose? As well as what happened in the USSR after Stalin's death?
