Its original name was Saint Petersburg after Peter the Great, but since it sounded German, they switched it to Petrograd at the start of WW1 to sound more Russian. After the October Revolution, it was renamed to Leningrad after Vladimir Lenin himself. It would retain this name until the Collapse of the Soviet Union, when the Russian Federation renamed it back to Saint Petersburg.
About anti-torpedo nets, yes its been a thing since a torpedo weapon was introdused (around 1890), it was used primary on battlecruisers and battleships particluary in large naval battles such of Tsushima or Jutland, and realy provide some protection but in a same time very serious shortcomings. First of all, time of deployment was long and procedure required a lot of specialy traind crew, second, mounted net hevely restrict ship not only in speed and maneuver but in coordination in battle line with other ships. And most important drawback is tactics of those times for bouth deffending and attacking sides, for Battleships and Cruisers its need to hold Battle Line (for auxiliary ships security line) and for torpedo boats (or early destroyers, or submarines) its a fast-attack, with massive barrage of torpedos, for shure anti-torpedo net can protect ships from one up to several torpedos and mines but the damaged net will hevely slow any ship make it vunurable to next attacs (its like trying to catch one moscito in middle of a swamp). So this nets been slowly transferd from military to cargo ships (in WW2 times) especialy with convoy tactic. One of my grandgrandfathers serve in USSR North Fleet during WW2 and told us that one day he see ship with mounted torpedo net loockin like beekeeper in hes net hat xd.
28:06 The Russian Revolution didn't replace one Tsar with another. It ushered in the first and only workers government in human history. As such, it remains one of the most important events in history. The Russian Revolution helped bring WW1 to an end because the imperialist powers feared similar revolutions taking place in their own countries ... following in the footsteps of Lenin and Trotsky.
judeo-bolsheviks ruined russia, destroyed its culture, religion, traditions, identity and tried to replaced it with an multi culti egalitarianist bullshit, it destroyed the russian soul, then later killed itself and resulted in todays shithole that is russia. Had the judeo-bolshevik revolution never happened Russia wouldve been the super power today instead of USA

Kolchak has always been one of those people I have been fascinated with in history and what Russian could have been like if he survived and defeat the reds

No, it was originally named after Saint Peter, as the name itself suggests. Peter the Great hasn't been considered a saint.

Eisenstein was a great propagandist

W Video 🎉 W channel💯 just Excellent
Love the chain fence idea! 👍🏻
Don't worry about seeming too confident, we know you're simply reacting to the videos, not trying to give a lecture about the context!
Didn't you already react to that videos
Is it me or does Kolchak look similar to Putin! 😁
