Royal History's Biggest Fibs with Lucy Worsley S02E03 - The Russian Revolution

Episode Overview

Title: The Russian Revolution Plot: Many believe they understand the tale of the Russian Revolution—how the Bolsheviks seized control in October 1917, toppling the tsar and ushering in communism. However, in this documentary, Lucy delves into the misconceptions surrounding the pivotal events of that year. She uncovers that it was actually a collective of female workers who ignited the revolution back in February 1917. Surprisingly, the Bolsheviks initially opposed their uprising, and at that time, Lenin, the head of the Bolshevik Party, was not even present in Russia.
