Have been watching alot of video on RU-vid about The Cherry Orchard. Watched only half of it as of writing this comment because I wanted to take time out from it to say that this is by far the best video out there regarding this play. Thank you😄

Its so great to see Americans reading the stories our country's author wrote. Chekov was indeed a master of short stories. Everything is absolutely well delivered Thank you

@1:40 the provisional government was not the peasants, it was a mix of the old royalists (pro-war right-wingers) and some mensheviks (democratic socialists) and SR (socialist revolutionaries, a bourgeois party aligned with the bolsheviks and mensheviks). The workers with help from the soldiers deserting from the war front and some Cossacks who supported the bolsheviks did most of the overthrowing before October. Point is, for Chekov's backdrop, the Tsar and the rentier landed aristocracy was so badly loathed a total shambles of a coalition could take the aristocracy down even when right-wing proto-fascist nationalists tried to stop them.

Thank you. To help students understand the context of the play, the main ideas I wanted to get across were that an 1) uprising took the aristocracy down, and 2) the peasants didn't wind up in control. In my attempts to boil a complex issue down into a few bullet points, I -- who profess no expertise in Russian history -- didn't do the topic justice.
