Russian Revolution-BBC2 -Now

Starting from beginning on iplayer now

Were the Simon Reeve programmes good?

What 1905?

A look at Russia's transition from tsarist autocracy to communist state, focusing on the involvement of three men - Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin, all of whom emerged from obscurity to forge an entirely new political system in the space of a few months. This drama-documentary examines the 245 days that brought these men to supreme power. As the history unfolds writers and historians, including Martin Amis, Orlando Figes, Helen Rappaport, Simon Sebag Montefiore and China Mieville, battle over the meaning of the Russian Revolution and explore how it shaped the world of today. Narrated by Juliet Stevenson

Typical BBC left wing sh1t

They had that awful ali guy on who is such an apologist for the hard left. They regularly have him on late at night to talk utter rubbish. And no idea who the bald guy was but he was just as bad... Still, 20 million dead as the result of their attempt at communism, it's a good idea if it gets rid of these zero hour contracts and bankers bonsuses..

Communism.....the biggest disaster of the 20th Century !

...and I am left of centre !

....had good intentions but corrupted by power-hungry individuals !

I keep doing political tests and apparently quite worryingly so am I

Last night there was a program about the vietnam war and talking about the communists slaughtering people they thought were against them. Mass graves of women and children, hands bound, I think they said 2000 or somethng at one site. Then executing families of people they thought might be against them during the Tet offensive. Lovely people!.. :(

And trickle down has saved the world has it  ?

The Rothschilds and the Murdochs wonderful people are they ?

Some people watch porn, anxious will have the Russian Revolution recorded for his pleasure

It's one thing being stupid Just Checking, completely another to shout off the roof tops about it!

I seem to have acquired a stalker-troll. How internety.

Stupid may have been the wrong word I apologise.

Ignorant would have been better and added to that deluded!
