History's Turning Points - The Russian Revolution - History International

After the abduction of Tsar Nicholas II in March 1917, two former boyhood friends fought for control of the vast Russian Empire. By October, after months of civil unrest, Vladimir Lenin overthrew his archrival Alexander Kerensky and created a one-party dictatorship of the proletariat. Thus began a 70-year experiment with communism that would embrace--often in a stranglehold--every aspect of Russian life. We look at the crucial moments in this pivotal point in history and the principal characters involved in its outcome. The latest historical research, documented firsthand accounts, and exclusive dramatizations bring the struggle to vivid life.
