The Train That Drove the Revolution: Lenin's Sealed Car

6 min2 juli 2026

Om avsnittet

In April 1917, Vladimir Lenin returned from Swiss exile to Petrograd in a sealed train, crossing Germany with the Kaiser's blessing. This episode traces the journey that changed world history: the diplomatic negotiations with the German General Staff, the sealed carriage that became a legend, the stop in Stockholm where Swedish socialists met the travelers, and Lenin's arrival at Finland Station. We explore the deal that Germany struck to destabilize Russia, the myth versus reality of the 'plombiertes Zug,' and how a single train journey launched the Bolshevik Revolution.
