The February Revolution: How the Tsar Fell in a Week
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the February Revolution of 1917, the spontaneous uprising that toppled the Romanov dynasty in just eight days. They trace the spark from International Women's Day protests in Petrograd to the mutiny of the Volynsky Regiment, the formation of the Provisional Committee of the State Duma, and the Petrograd Soviet. They discuss key figures like Mikhail Rodzyanko, Alexander Kerensky, and Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich, and explain the critical role of the Putilov Strike and the shortage of bread. The episode also covers the army's refusal to fire on demonstrators, the abdication of Nicholas II at Pskov, and the myth versus reality of Lenin's sealed train. A vivid, fast-paced account of the revolution that actually ended the monarchy.
