What Really Happened During The Russian Revolution

If there is any single event in human history that leftists worship, it is the communist Russian Revolution. They idealize it as some sort of glorious triumph of the common man over the establishment, bringing equality to all. What they do not realize is how foolish that perception truly is. The Russian Revolution was a brutal, horrible, and excessively bloody event fought for nothing but the changing of power to even more sinister hands. In this article, I will explain why I draw that conclusion, and how bad the revolution itself truly was.

The Road to Revolution

As everyone reading this article likely knows, the ideology of communism was a radical (and nonsensical, to boot) solution to the struggles of the individual worker in the Industrial Revolution. It had evolved from the ideologies of Jacobinism and Socialism, with very little difference from their principles. Rather than allow the free market to work as it wished, philosophers supported concepts such as the public ownership of property, free love, atheism, and worse degenerate ideas.

In the 1900s, before the First World War, communism and socialism were fringe ideologies. Some groups had radically attempted to apply it, and failed miserably, due to the economic illegitimacy of communism and socialism, and some (such as the Paris Commune) were stomped out by government forces. However, Russia’s poor situation near the end of the war offered the opportunity to the radicals to construct a true communist state.

It is here that we begin to see the roots of the revolution take shape. Russia entered the First World War drastically unprepared and underdeveloped for modern warfare. Their Tsar, Nicholas II, was incompetent and unskilled at political and military matters. Serfdom for many years had crushed the Russian nation’s chances at full industrialization, and her economically impoverished state provided no assistance.

Russian troops, often illiterate and uneducated peasants, were sent to fight many of the best equipped and trained armies in the world, while many did not even have a rifle in their hands. As can be expected, the Russians struggled to pull off one major victory. As a consequence, families back home starved, and the poor living conditions grew steadily worse.

As these events happened, radicals began to rile up the populace with promises of wealth, freedom, and unity. Desperate for anything other than the Tsarist monarchy, Russian veterans and citizens began to follow the communists. In other circles, calls for constitutional monarchy and republicanism were made, and many supported those movements as well.

The February Revolution and the Intermediate Period

As time grew on, large masses of workers and other civilians went on strike, and on 11 March, 1917, the strikes exploded into barbaric riots. Rioters destroyed government buildings, killed officers of the Russian Army, and worse. In need of action to hold the nation together, the Tsar sent out his army to bring the riots to a halt, but instead wound up with his own army deserting to the side of the enemy.

Nicholas II then dissolved the Duma, and stripped it of its power.  With disorder engulfing the country, the Russian national parliament (the Duma) established a temporary government to maintain control. Leading the temporary government was Prince Georgy Lvov (in the role of Prime Minister). Under this provisional government, the first Marxist would also enter a government position, Alexander Kerensky.

In the course of this, socialist “soviets” that were made up of left leaning soldiers and working classmen, but dominated by the leftist middle class, began to work at dividing the Russian populace. Fragmented socialist groups split apart the alliances in the soviets, and attempted to usurp control of the Duma. Vladimir Lenin’s arrival in April would only further divide the Socialist Party in Russia, splitting it into two separate parties.

He began to preach around this time about how Russia should immediately withdraw from the war, give free land to peasants, and give out free bread. The government refused to leave the war, and the power hungry socialist party orchestrated new militias, given the name “the Red Guard,” to utilize violent methods to accomplish control over the Russian people.

The Reaction

Soon after, the Bolsheviks began a sort of takeover in the Russian Socialist Party, with their main message being the classic slogan “All power to the Soviets!” describing their movement on its own. Immediately, as the Provisional Government began to see the shift in power, they moved to adapt to the situation. Prince Lvov resigned his position in favor of Kerensky, who would then begin arresting his competing Bolsheviks. Leadership figures such as Leon Trotsky were arrested.

However, as the Central Powers continued to batter Russia, she finally snapped. The military mutinied, and a republic was established. It would not be long before the Bolsheviks would destroy their own promise of equality, however, and convinced the government to strip all Bourgeoisie citizens of their right to government participation.

October Turns Red

In November (October on the Julian Calendar), with enough power under them, the Bolsheviks under the command of Lenin made their move. In a sweeping revolution, the communists sent out their militias to occupy government buildings and attack public officials. In the process, they spilled the blood of their own countrymen without remorse, in incidents such as the Assault of the Winter Palace.

In the way they fought, no humanity or dignity was shown. At the end, the Provisional Government was forced to give away its power to the Soviets, of whom a new council was established.

The Catastrophic Aftermath

With the socialists in full control of the Russian nation, many policies against common sense and profit were implemented. All private property was then owned by the state, all banks became property of the state, and fixed wages were implemented. Unsurprisingly, the economy collapsed. Peasants were required to submit all harvests to the state, and were not paid enough in return to survive.

Once again, Russia descended into starvation. A massive black market was established as a result. In response, the government used executions to suppress it, but still failed. Lenin was forced to allow the selling of goods on the market again.

Communist bloodshed was not yet over, however. Later on, as the Russian Civil War brewed, red forces would brutally execute the Tsar and his family, and bury them in shallow graves. Churchgoers and clergy would be tortured and massacred, and any who opposed the iron fist of revolution were executed. The pool of blood then generated by the Russian Revolution became just as great as that establishment they replaced.

A Certain Conclusion

As can be seen from the above article, the Russian Revolution was no glorious affair. It was filled with needless bloodshed, incredible cruelty, and in the end, it would ironically fail for the exact reasons the revolution was fought, nearly reverting to the previous economic system. We can see that there was virtually no “compassion to the poor” that the communists promised. It is obvious that the narrative fed by the left is a falsehood, and so we should educate ourselves to disregard it.

  1. What really happened. The Communist Jews murdered 37 million plus of their own countrymen. Why? Because they had wrong political leanings and ethnic type( not communist or jewish ones).. that’s all.
    Coming to America and the rest of the west with cucked non-joos faags and qu eers and the rest of the fringe making up their army for the exact same result.

    1. Is libertarianism, aka our reality really what we should be espousing?
      Save the white terror and foreign invasion, the revolution would have been bloodless, as were the events in October.

      1. Our reality is not libertarianism, if you think it is then you really don’t understand the term at all. The entire Western world exists under a ‘liberal’ socialist welfare system, to differing degrees. The revolution would also not have been bloodless. Taking people’s property by force is almost never bloodless.

    1. Fake and dull is the article like many who start with “what really happened…”. Obviously is impossible to write such a complex problem in a few lines. All the more then is even harder when you repeat mantra of “tsarist Russia backwardness” “serfdom” ” unprepared for war” (Brusilov offensive doesn’t ring a bell, that’s for sure) “incompetent tsar” etc. Interestingly the same points were communist propaganda. Gee, I guess that lovers of “free market”(whatever that means) are busy copying communists “truths”. For sure, education means more then that

      1. On the other hand, doubtless this is the first exposure to the history of the Revolution for a majority of the readers here. (Public Schools and Universities do such a wonderful job with historical literacy, don’t you agree?) So, even though it’s fraught with debatable points and only and just barely skims the surface, it’s better than nothing.
        Perhaps it will inspire at least a few people to learn more about the topic.
        Just a thought.

        1. Found some completely fascinating paintings done by Ivan Vladimirov, who was with the Tsarist Police in St. Petersburg/Petrograd when it was all happening:
          http://englishrussia.com/2017/11/07/harsh-realities-of-1917-revolution-in-paintings-of-a-petrograd-police-officer/
          Each and every one makes you pause and think. So much lost. Absolutely worth anybody’s time to stop and take a look.
          Also, here’s a copy of The Chekist 1992 with English subs. Prepare to be shocked:

          Hope this helps.

    2. This is a fascinating topic, Ray. And that is, the incredible number of faked photos that were intentionally published in newspapers and history books regarding WW1 and WW2. It really makes you wonder, what the fuck really happened back then???

  2. Lenin’s term “Useful Idiots” should always be used when discussing or talking to the American Left. Calling them Liberals, Progressives, or Lefties is just being way too kind.

    1. Comrade Lenin and Stalin’s rise to power should be studied if only to use lefties to your own ends.

    2. I find as many “Useful Idiots” on the right as on the left. The idiots on the left are useful for certain purposes and the idiots on the right are useful for certain other purposes. If ANYONE buys into a system that they have no real say in or control over then they are brainwashed idiots.

  3. but in the u s of a the commies are totally outgunned and will be systematically massacred

  4. Let us not forget that, during its rule from 1917 to 1989 (but mainly from 1917 to 1956 – Stalin’s death) the communist government murdered almost 30 million of its own citizens through mass executions, government-induced and sustained starvation (3-5 million died of starvation – holodomor in Ukraine alone) and by working innocent people until their deaths in labor camps throughout the USSR. USSR advancement was built upon the deaths of millions of slaves sent to gulags for no other reason than that of the government being unwilling/unable to pay for labor needed to build various projects. This system of state-sponsored murderous terror also kept the populace in the continuous state of frozen fear, thus preventing any slightest resistance to communist rule.
    It is rather ironic that current left youth, especially antifa thugs celebrate this regime and its methods of seizing power and control. If they’d read history books at all, they would learn that people like antifa thugs (anarchists) were among the first to be murdered either outright or in gulags once they fulfilled their “useful idiots” roles of tearing down the old regime…

    1. These manufactured statistics created by using false cia and gestapo sources with disingenuous guesstimates have been thoroughly discredited by the opening of the soviet archives in Moscow.

  5. The Russian revolution was anything but Russian.
    Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists Who Financed the Russian Communists by Antony Cyril Sutton.
    In the end of this book A. Sutton tries to deny that the majority of (((the communist leaders))) were not in fact Russian but apart from that it is full of evidences showing how the long hand of the banking mafia meddled with the countries internal affairs.

      1. He writes about the German assistance too.
        It was not until the Bolsheviks had received from us a steady flow of funds
        through various channels and under varying labels that they were in a
        position to be able to build up their main organ Pravda, to conduct
        energetic propaganda and appreciably to extend the originally narrow
        base of their party.

        Von Kühlmann, minister of foreign affairs, to the kaiser, December 3, 1917
        You can read the whole book online – https://www.voltairenet.org/IMG/pdf/Sutton_Wall_Street_and_the_bolshevik_revolution-5.pdf

        1. In April 1917 Lenin and a party of 32 Russian revolutionaries, mostly Bolsheviks, journeyed by train from Switzerland across Germany through Sweden to Petrograd, Russia. They were on their way to join Leon Trotsky to “complete the revolution.” Their trans-Germany transit was approved, facilitated, and financed by the German General Staff. Lenin’s transit to Russia was part of a plan approved by the German Supreme Command, apparently not immediately known to the kaiser, to aid in the disintegration of the Russian army and so eliminate Russia from World War I. The possibility that the Bolsheviks might be turned against Germany and Europe did not occur to the German General Staff. Major General Hoffman has written, “We neither knew nor foresaw the danger to humanity from the consequences of this journey of the Bolsheviks to Russia.”

      2. The you know who’s have had a hand in every pocket since time was recorded

  6. Article fails to mention that communism was a wholly Jewish affair. There was nothing “Russian” about the Bolshevik revolution. It was led, organized and financed by global Jewry.
    Marx, Lenin, Trotsky and 80% of the Bolshevik and Chekka (secret police) leadership were all Jewish. And the fomented the greatest holocaust in modern history, with some 20 million souls sent to perish in the frozen hell of the gulags, not to mention another 6-8 million who died of starvation in the holodomar.
    Read Duke’s “The Secret Behind Communism” and other truther books on the subject.
    Curiously, you will never see the above info discussed in any college history course in the West!

    1. it certainly wasn’t a “wholly jewish affair” and the degree and significance of the jewish contribution to the bolshevik leadership is obviously something that will remain a matter of dispute. It is wrong though that the issue is not addressed in history courses even at university level. Having said that there was a lot going on back then. Jewish international financiers such as Schiff were part of the picture, but I don’t think they were the whole picture. As someone else points out above the Germans were also involved in financing Trotksy and the international powers seem to have been as keen back then as they are now to lay low the russian bear

      1. Germans financing Trotsky birth name (((Bronstein))).
        Haha good one. Just like the (((Frankfurt school))) was German right.

        1. I’m not trying to play up the german role or play down that of jewish financiers. The German government had obvious reasons for wanting the Russian’s incapable of fighting the russian side of the war and appear to have let Lenin through and to have helped with some finance for Trotsky too. Amongst the jewish financiers Jacob Schiff is the only one who appears to have been involved without any doubt and there are some sources who suggest he was Trotsky’s benefactor and that he financed the bolsheviks to the tun of £20 million. There were German, American (Schiff etc) and it appears British backers of the bolsheviks – Milner appears to have been one. The American’s and the British interests might have acted in concert but it would be very strange had the German’s had the same interest in the matter

  7. As bad as things were in the beginning, it got worse yet. The only good news is that most of the Old Guard ended up getting what they deserved.

  8. A few points of note
    The Tsar rejected the (((Rothschild))) banking and blocked a European takeover. It is claimed Rothschild made a threat that he would destroy the tsar.
    The Christian churches were persecuted.
    ‘Anti-semitism’ was outlawed when they came to power.
    Ukraine was planned to be the israel like motherland of the J
    The press and narrative of the time was claiming 6 million j’s could die if the Bolshevik communists do not come to power.
    Mongrel tribes were being drafted into Russian civil societies like modern multiculturalism and refugee crises in the West today.

  9. Great article, such a revolution is being concocted in the USA right now.
    All this propaganda which we are currently witnessing is leading towards a very obvious outcome.
    Minorities(won’t be minorities any longer when the revolution will take place), backed up by college indoctrinated white women, Jews & cucks will start attacking white men & christians in mass.
    Blood & degeneracy at his finest. The world which will come out of it will be demonic, possibly even worse than USSR.

  10. There is a reason why Solzhenitsyn’s “Two Hundred Years Together” has still not been published in English.

    1. It’s available online.
      He said about USA:
      As a survivor of the Communist Holocaust I am horrified to witness how my beloved America, my adopted country, is gradually being transformed into a secularist and atheistic utopia, where communist ideals are glorified and promoted, while Judeo-Christian values and morality are ridiculed and increasingly eradicated from the public and social consciousness of our nation. Under the decades-long assault and militant radicalism of many so-called “liberal” and “progressive” elites, God has been progressively erased from our public and educational institutions, to be replaced with all manner of delusion, perversion, corruption, violence, decadence, and insanity.

      1. “Judeo-Christian values and morality ” ~ There is no such thing. Jewish values are COMPLETELY at odds with pre-Reformation Christianity.

  11. The architect of revolution Trotsky( real last name – Bronstein ) was a Wall Street Jew.

    1. there’s a book called Trotsky in America by Kenneth Ackerman. Trotsky was only in New York for 10 weeks prior to heading off to Russia. Trotsky may well have been financed by wall street. I think Sutton says it was mainly money routed from german intelligence but there are other sources which claim Schiff, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co, provided $20 million for the revolution. I’m not sure how reliable that is, but it wouldn’t surprise me

  12. When the red menace try’s their revolution in America I hope we defeat them unlike the Russian failure

    1. Snake
      Its already been done. You haven’t been paying attention after ww2
      Oh and we still have Gulags. ‘Hate’ crimes and Instead of putting dissidents in a camp they destroy your career, social status and finance.

      1. I meant open armed conflict in the streets between patriots and traitors not just subversion and 1984 tactics

        1. When the left wing has enough minions imported into the country and they continue to be foiled in any further attempts at destroying our country then they will push for armed conflict. They already have with Antifa. It won’t be as easy to beat them as many think. The White Russian forces were doing fairly well for a while but they had no funding. Of course you know who fully funded the Reds.

  13. Ultimately the real cause of the Russian Revolution was the First World War. Prior to that, Russia *was* industrializing at a rapid clip, with the attendant liberalizing of State social policies following (fitfully) close behind.
    That’s a thumbnail of course. It would take several bookcase worth of material to understand all the interlocking events that led to the revolution and it’s aftermath. Here are several to get you started.
    Nicholas and Alexandra, Dreadnought, and Castles of Steel – all by Robert K. Massie
    The Vertigo Years, and Fracture – all by Philipp Blom
    Ring of Steel – Alexander Watson
    George, Nicholas and Wilhelm – Miranda Carter
    The Age of Extremes – Eric Hobsbawm
    As I said, this just scratches the surface. And being history, it’s always open to revision and interpretation. In other words, it’s gray. Here are two recent examples:
    Nicholas II – the Tsar of Normalcy – Egor Kholmogorov
    http://www.unz.com/akarlin/nicholas-ii/
    Stalin Is Not Great – Egor Kholmogorov
    http://www.unz.com/akarlin/stalin-is-not-great/
    In an alternate universe with no WWI, it would be interesting to see how Russia would turned out. Who knows? Perhaps it would be a constitutional monarchy and we’d all be driving Russian sports cars.
    Regardless, with the exceptions of things like literacy and life expectancy – the latter doubled, I believe – we can all agree that the Soviet Years overall were a disaster for the Russian People.
    Hope this helps.
    Just a thought.

    1. Oh, I forgot to mention the growing Middle Class in Russia prior to WWI. That was also an outgrowth of the industrialization that was taking place. They were effectively wiped out by the Revolution of course. Doctor Zhivago and all that.

    2. Thanks for the heads up. I just read up about “The Vertigo Years, and Fracture” all by Philipp Blom”.
      Learned about the atrocious behavior of the Belgian king, Leopold II, in the Congo: the ten million native inhabitants whom he murdered in the course of eight years; the men whose hands were cut off as a punishment for not having collected enough rubber; the others whom he flogged to death.

      So more Africans were killed than the alleged 6 million Jews and only few have even heard about it!

        The Boer War – Thomas Pakenham (A hardbound first will run you about $50-$100 BTW.
        Africa: A Biography of the Continent – John Reader (Hardbound about $50 new on Amazon*)
        Hope this helps.
        Just a thought.

        *Yes, I have a thing for hardbounds. Tend to be better made and waaay more durable. Plus people tend to treat them with a bit more respect, e.c. not using them for coasters. (Grounds for justifiable homicide.) Put a Brodart cover/skin on them – 25 to 40 cent per, and they’ll last forever.
        (And no you can’t borrow from my damned library!)

    3. It has been written about that it was International Communists that of course with the tribe in the leading roles that manipulated events to cause the Great War. It was really their intention to have many countries become Communist as a result of the war. They were really hard at it too. Throughout the 20’s and early 30’s until stopped in their tracks albeit only too temporarily by Mussolin, Franco and of course the Great One of Germany.

      1. Correct. Catalyst is the word for it. WWI pushed it – everything – over the edge. And all the European Powers had similar mixes of internal strife and worldviews – the push for colonies, trade dominance, labor, ethnic and social unrest – that caused them to be undone by their collective hubris, that they were special, that they knew what they were doing, and that they couldn’t be hurt.
        Just a thought.
        VicB3

        1. the war changed a lot of things, but it didn’t cause the revolution even if it did make it possible. Revolutionary communism / bolshevism wasn’t just something that happened because the occasion was right

  14. You should all read the book “The Forsaken: An American Tragedy in Stalin’s Russia” by Tim Tzouliadis.
    It doesn’t pull its punches for the most part, although some who were partially responsible are not mentioned. It also shows how people who mindlessly buy into an ideology often end up paying dearly, although many of the American victims were in fact desperate due to The Depression.
    It also shows that if not for American assistance directly and indirectly the Soviets would have lost in the Second World War, yet did nothing for anyone and in fact were allied with Nazi Germany when The Netherlands was overrun.

  15. I have not seen such a brief summation of such a gargantuan topic, since my book report about the ocean, in the 5th grade. But thanks to comment sections like this, word is finally getting through about what really happened in Russia, and Germany.

  16. “In October 1918, out of 388 members of the revolutionary government only 16 happened to be real Russians. All the rest were Jew$ with the exception of 1 negro. Most of these Jew$ actually came from the Lower East Side of New York.”
    Main perps with their fake Russian-sounding names in brackets:
    1) Leon Bronstein (Trotsky), Commander of the Soviet Red Army.
    2) Grigory Apfelbaum (Zinoviev), Director, Soviet Secret Police.
    3) Maxim Wallach (Litvinov), Soviet Foreign Minister.
    4) Solomon Lozovsky, Deputy Soviet Foreign Minister.
    5) Yuri Andropov, Jewish Director of the Soviet KGB
    6) Yankel Solomon (Jacob Sverdlov), the first President of the Soviet Union.

    “Ilya Ehrenburg – one of the most prolific authors, journalists and cultural figures of the Soviet Union. Born in Kiev, Russian Empire to a privileged Jewish family.
    He was one of the most ardent supporters of Communism, being involved in the development of the Bolshevik revolution as early as 1905.”
    “The Germans are not human beings. From now on, the word ‘German’ is the most horrible curse. From now on, the word ‘German’ strikes us to the quick. We have nothing to discuss. We will not get excited. We will kill. If you have not killed at least one German a day, you have wasted that day … If you cannot kill a German with a bullet, then kill him with your bayonet. If your part of the front is quiet and there is no fighting, then kill a German in the meantime … If you have already killed a German, then kill another one – there is nothing more amusing to us than a heap of German corpses. Don’t count the days, don’t count the kilometers. Count only one thing: the number of Germans you have killed. Kill the Germans! … – Kill the Germans! Kill!”
    This same Russian Ju travelled extensively to American college’s/institutions/political groups to display false skin lampshades, shrunken heads etc to drum up war on the Germans.

  18. (((Ilya Ehrenburg))) communist Russia’s chief propogandist travelled extensively throughout American college’s and political parties peddling phony Skin lampshades and shrunken heads attempting to stir international hatred of the Germans.
    He was also responsible for many other sickening acts that led to the slaughter of innocents. The book Hellstorm by Thomas Goodrich explores some of the horrors German villages succumb to from Juish Bolshevik terrorism.

    Shadow of Hermes by Juri Lina

  20. Wow.
    Americans have gone batshit insane.
    These trade wars will drive up prices, kill jobs, and reduce exports.
    Americans used to be able to buy cheap imports, but now they will be forced to buy expensive shitty US products. American companies will have no incentive to produce quality goods now that imports are highly taxed.
    Do Americans not understand that the USSR failed?
    Do Americans know that the USA is supposed to be a free country?
    You don’t need to be a libtard to understand that trade wars are bad.
    No one is saying companies cannot make goods in the USA.
    The problem is that North Korea has closed borders, but no one wants to live a police state.
    Hong Kong has no tariffs, but they are rich.
    https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-with-the-fewest-prohibitively-expensive-tariffs.html
    The USA benefits if a country dumps products on the US. If a nation sold $50 tires to the US for $40 then the USA wins by getting cheap products.
    If a foreign country had a 900% import tax then their prices would be very high.
    If China had a 200% import tax and the US had no tariffs, but then the USA raised the import tax, wouldn’t China retaliate?
    A country would get jobs in the short term by exporting products at a loss, but eventually they would go bankrupt.
    You cannot get rich by decree. You cannot set rents at $10 per month, wages at $1000 per hour, and have 200% tariffs with no consequences.
    Fundamentally, there are only two ways of coordinating the economic activities of millions. One is central direction involving the use of coercion – the technique of the army and of the modern totalitarian state. The other is voluntary cooperation of individuals – the technique of the marketplace.
    This is not the Soviet Union.
    If you want more jobs and want to compete on the world market then the USA needs to cut wages and reduce regulations. You can’t pay Americans $23 per hour and expect to compete with Chinese workers who will work for $1 per hour.

    Did you know that there was a stock market crash in 2008, a trade war and depression in the 2010’s, and WWIII is likely to start by 2025?
    Trade wars made the Great Depression worse. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

    Americans believe that the reason the US has a trade deficit is because other countries cheat and have high tariffs. Americans don’t realize the US benefits by getting low priced imports and could also be a successful exporting country if the USA had lower wages and fewer regulations.
    Those who sell more products work harder, work more cheaply, have better quality, or use more technology.
    Think.

    1. *Where would the US get rare earth materials from without free trade?*
      answer: by the distillation of sea water.

    2. Are you a j*w in disguise? You seem to be very much in favor of globalism.
      Lemme tell you how things played out:
      A prosperous working class inherently makes communism unable to flourish.
      Therefore (((they))) convinced their golem in China to institute market reforms and open up global trade. Thus all production was shifted to China and the working class went from prosperous to impoverished in an instant.
      Highly addictive drugs such as crack cocaine, heroin and later on prescriptive opioids were introduced and made readily available, anti male laws and propaganda were distributed, blacks were the only musicians made popular as they controlled the entertainment industry and in recent years the final stages of normalized degeneracy were introduced.
      The peasants were primed for dehumanization in order to be able to face the coming bloodshed that will ultimately leave (((them))) with full control over the world.

  21. Didn’t help that the Tsar was hen-pecked by his mother and his moonbat wife. That lunatic wife of his was getting diddled by Rasputin in order to cure the hemophiliac son. He was a very weak man and his family paid the price for his beta male nature.

    1. Actually, all the Royal houses at the time were a little off, the consequence of both inbreeding as well as being surrounded by Yes Men 24/7. (It never hurts to have a few people around who aren’t afraid to tell you that you’re full of it in order to keep you grounded.) Wilhelm, for example, was a insecure narcissist with who spent an inordinate amount of time trying to appear fierce and militant in order to compensate for his withered arm. (Hence that ridiculous mustache, replaced finally with a much more dignified beard after he abdicated.) And Victoria went off the deep end after Albert died, wore nothing but black, and pretty much became a functioning alcoholic. We can go on and on here.
      As for the Tsarina, besides having a hemophiliac son – a cause of great concern to both highly religious parents – she suffered from chronic myalgia, doubtless the result of a persistent viral infection. In turn, that meant she was probably on pain killers/opioids most of the time. Religion + opioids + desperation doesn’t do much for one’s judgement.
      And here’s comes a peasant Staretz out of Siberia who – using hypotism -really could stop the Tsarevich’s pain and bleeding. (The use of hypnosis to relieve pain and lower blood pressure is/was reputed to be a common skill among Russian peasants.) And so, yeah, the parents really were going to latch onto him an treat him with favour.
      As for Nicholas being a “Weak Man,” that really is the subject for a lot of revisionist debate lately. (Wouldn’t it be interesting if you could somehow sit him down with a martini and chat for a few hours.) One thing that is agreed upon is that he was so polite that even if he disagreed with you, you were left thinking that he’d said yes to everything that you’d said. Good manners and all that.
      For an alternative view of the man, you might start by reading this:
      Nicholas II – the Tsar of Normalcy – Egor Kholmogorov

      The reality is that all of Europe was on the cusp of disaster at the time, and that all the players -nobility, bureaucrats, military and diplomats – were locked into their worldview templates of national prestige, honor, and lust for additional territories. They all thought that they knew what they were doing, and that they wouldn’t get hurt. Then they discovered differently, discovered that the old rules didn’t apply and that they’d unleashed upon themselves a war like no other, a wild thing that rapidly spun out of control and went where no man thought.
      It’s all kind of like now if you think about it.
      Just a thought.

  22. A good book on the Bolshevik Revolution:
    https://www.amazon.com/Double-Eagle-Red-Flag/dp/1434458016
    Pyotr Nikolayevich Krasnov (1869-1947) was Lieutenant General of the Russian army when the revolution broke out in 1917 and one of the leaders of the counterrevolutionary White movement afterward. According to its introduction, From Double Eagle to Red Flag “was born of the debris of Imperial Russia, conceived in the shadow of Leo Tolstoy’s historical narrative, by a Russian General with exceptional opportunities.” This “monumental” novel “has a naked, a terrible fascination.”
    +++++++++
    Here the 1991 TV interview with Gorbechev and Boris Yeltsin.

    Question is: What do you think about the Bolshevik Revolution now?
    Answer by Mr. Yeltsin: It was the worst thing that could possibly have happened. Russia will never recover from it.

  23. This article is history for corporate slaves and normies.
    1.Growth. Before 1WW Russia had a major economic boom. Both Brits and Germans were worried, that if it continues, Russia might overwhelm them – Britain dominance on seas, and Germany dominance in Europe
    2.Socialism. Roots of socialism lay in Germany, or to be exact – in Prussia. There ideas of “social monarchy” first appear, and they evolved gradually towards different socialism variants – “Kriegssocializmus” – “war socialism”, during 1WW, or Nazional Socialismus – including NSDAP, literally the Hitler.
    Ideas of collectivism and corporationism are still strong in Germany.
    3.Where socialism came from in Russia.
    It came from….Germany. Ideas spread, especially amongst opressed nations.
    And also it was planted during 1WW, to weaken Russia.
    German state controlled their socialists, especially most extreme. General Command came to idea, to “export” German social-anarchists to Russia, as a subterfuge.
    German state paid their agents well, and Lenin was one of theirs.
    It went especially well, as Russia was very multi-national, and some groups were treated really bad (like the Jews, who for centuries could not own property, and were forced from region to region every dozen of years). Also, Russia conquered many countries and nations, during it`s expansion. It was additional division.

    1. A curious question about the hatred Jews have endured is this:
      Why?
      This has been going on for thousands of years, even before Islam, even before Christianity (Islam came about roughly five centuries later). Just ask Pharaoh.
      Different societies, different races, nations have come and gone, now it’s happening again.
      The question is: which is more likely- that humans evolved or were created with (depending on what you believe) a strange quirk that mindlessly hates Jews regardless of race, time, nation, religion, or culture OR…
      Jews are doing something to make people mad at them again and again.
      Look at what has happened in Israel just days ago. While the Western world is being told to be “multicultural” in every way Israel is officially Zionist and the bi-lingual signs are being taken down.
      “Do as I say not as I do” is one way to get people mad at you.

    2. All of the people from numerous different countries that assaulted Russia in the revolution had one thing in common. They were (((Ju’s))). They are known as the international merchants without borders for a reason.
      Germany had its own problems fighting the (((communists))) and (((cartels)))
      The Germans stood up to it and nearly woke the whole world. Like the Tsar they were crushed. Like the Libyan leader like the Syrian leader, heck even Jesus. All dissidents of (((their))) order must be crucified.

  24. J*ws hate slavs just like they hate whites.
    What they did in the holodomor was projected onto the holohoax to deflect from their own atrocities.
    The holodomor is a glimpse of what is starting to happen with whites. Silently replaced and suicided as everybody below upper middle class is turned into near homeless peasants while they shift the blame on boomers who were just useful idiots themselves and the upper middle class.

  25. Solzhenitsyn says that the Jews who participated in Russian revolutions were effectively apostates splitting from the spirit of tradition.[1] Solzhenitsyn emphatically denies that Jews were responsible for the revolutions of 1905 and 1917. At the end of chapter nine, Solzhenitsyn denounces “the superstitious faith in the historical potency of conspiracies” that leads some to blame the Russian revolutions on the Jews and to ignore the “Russian failings that determined our sad historical decline.”
    The full text of the book “The Pink Swastika” is available online. Its main thesis can be supported by other earlier historical writings. Nazi Germany was a cult of pedophiles and violent “butch” homosexuals of whom “not ten percent of their leadership were sexually normal”. They were engaged in geopolitical homoerotic sadomasochism.
    Admiration for Adolf Hitler should no more be countenanced than admiration for Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Genghis Khan or Atilla the Hun. The leadership of a socialist totalitarian dictatorship should not be conferred any degree of social respectability.
    The one-note conspiracy theory interpretive construction that construes one underlying cause to all social ills instead of recognizing that it is multi-causality issue is as aberrant and deviant as “progressivism” and all the varieties of the mentally ill marching in the streets these days with their nonsensical causes and grievances. For you guys own good this notion needs to be thoroughly crushed and confuted as with “psychological inevitability” it leads slew of corollary beliefs that are self evidently not acceptable e.g., that Christianity is a phony morality foisted on the West by the Jews, that Islam is acceptable, that World War 2 was a phony war, that the people that fought World War 2 were dupes and fools, that Churchill was therefore a villain, that those with old school conventional conservative views that hold non-revisionist historiographical understanding of World War 2 are fatally flawed, and lastly, the rehabilitation to social respectability of Adolf Hitler. And if Hitler is socially respectable, then why not have nonsensical revisionist historiographies that rehabilitate the reputations of Mao, Stalin or Castro?
