can anyone here recommend some decent documentary / video content about the history of the bolsheviks and the october revolution? I've read a few books about it, but want something more audio visually stimulating. everything I could find is ether heavily tinted with a liberal bias or is from a reactionary monarchist perspective (what the hell) I also understand russian if that helps AFancyQuestionMark has issued a correction as of 23:12 on Apr 3, 2024 |

If people want to continue the discussion from the Ukraine thread regarding the effectiveness of purges (and particularly the late 30s mass trials) and the relation to the fall of the USSR, I am really interested in that. I'll be honest here, I started from an anti-purge perspective and am gradually moving towards pro-purge but anti-terror. I have read various history books on the circumstances of the October revolution, the Civil War and the trials themselves. I read Lenin and Trotsky, but mostly articles, polemics and pamphlets, not large theory volumes (sorry, it's hard to stay focused). If you want to discuss this/educate me, I would appreciate that

Look, there are a lot of people in the other thread that read Losurdo and such (I did not) and explain that Khrushev and Gorbachev's rise and the perrstroika was a consequence of not carrying out enough purges(including in the 60s and 70s). I want to understand this

IIRC there's an entire genre of Chinese literature describing intellectuals being persecuted during the CR, so this isn't a nieche viewpoint, as far as I understand "CR was bad and a mistake" is the mainstream view in China
