      Let's be honest, it's cut into 2 parts because of sponsorships reasons, lol.
      edit: too many of you think i give him shit cuz hes sponsored. i already wrote a reply about how this wasn't meant to be shitting on him, but some people still respond with "its okay that he's sponsored."

    If anyone's curious about what became of Alexander Kerensky after he fled Petrograd, he managed to survive the Russian Revolution and lived a relatively peaceful life, outliving many of the significant figures of the Russian Revolution.
    Oversimplified didn't cover this, but after Kerensky escaped the Bolsheviks during the October Revolution, he fled to Pskov, where he rallied some loyal troops in an attempt to re-take the city. They managed to capture Tsarskoye Selo but were beaten the next day at Pulkovo. Kerensky narrowly escaped again and spent the next few weeks in hiding before fleeing Russia for good, eventually arriving in France. During the Russian Civil War, he supported neither side, as he opposed both the Bolshevik regime and the White Movement.
    Eventually, after Germany invaded France in 1940, Kerensky fled to the United States, where he spent the remainder of his life. He lived in New York City with his wife but spent much of his time at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in California, where he contributed to the Institution's huge archive on Russian history and taught graduate courses. He wrote and broadcast extensively on Russian politics and history.
    Kerensky eventually died of heart disease in New York City on June 11, 1970. At 89, he was one of the last surviving major participants in the turbulent events of 1917, having outlived Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, and all the other prominent figures who had overthrown him.

Even Wikipedia leads to missleading opinions on topics like such. I'm no history student, but I love reading nonfictional historical books.

    Funny story regarding Rasputin, after his assassination he was buried in a church cemetery which was later broken into by red army soldiers. They took the body to a forest to burn him and when they set him on fire he sat up and allegedly tried to walk lol. The reason for this was because you're supposed to cut the tendons when you cremate which shrink when they burn hence the "sitting up" part. I would have SHIT if I saw that guy sit up in his fire pit.

      Technically their name was "Women's Battalion of Death".

Despite their propaganda role, they took a limited part in the war at the front (yes, in Russia in 1917 everything was so bad).

    King George V, Czar Nicholas II, and Kaiser Wilhelm II were all first cousins. In fact, George and Nicky looked so much alike when they were young that they were sometimes mistaken for each other at family gatherings. George is sometimes criticized for not doing more to try and save Nicholas and his family, but if he (a constitutional monarch) had tried to bring his (extremely unpopular and autocratic) cousin to England in the middle of a war… yeah, that wouldn’t have gone over very well. In any event, it’s not likely that Nicholas and Alexandra would have agreed to go, at least not until it was too late.

      @@heynowur9146 not for military, but for political reasons. The bolsheviks saw that revolution was on germany's doorsteps ans wanted to accelerate the process. One of the things they had to do for this was to show the true imperialist ambitions of german capitalism in pursuing this war. At that time the german generals didn't say it was a war for the conquest of land, but for peace and the self determination of nations. So if they stopped fighting without signing a treaty, one of two things could happen: either the germans didn't advance, which would mean that the situation in germany was already so unstable that the generals were afraid of attacking, that would have boosted morale in Russia enormously. The second option was that the germans would advance, but in doing so would reveal their real intentions, which were not peace and the self determination of nations, but brutal imperialist conquest. This revelation would have massive effects in the consciousness of the german masses. Lenin and Trotsky thought that if germany advanced they would still be able to quickly sign the original peace treaty. This calculation was mistaken, and they paid the price, but the main intention, of revealing the brutality of the german ruling class was achieved, and a few months later on the 3rd of november 1918, the german revolution broke out, effectively bringing world war 1 to an end. Sadly the german revolution failed, but that is a separate matter.

In 1918, he left the White Army after finding out about the Tsar's murder, and although he would spend the rest of his life in the Soviet Union, he never stopped being Jewish. In 1940, Stalin made him lose his job for no other reason than that. In 1953, when Stalin died, my great-great-grandfather petitioned Malenkov to give him his job back. Malenkov said no, so when Khrushchev took over, my great-great-grandfather begged HIM to get his job back. In 1956, Khrushchev finally said yes.

      I think a good point of comparison is the French Revolution. You have an oppressive, outdated government, you a massive and certainly justified popular revolt led by people with radical new ideas for what to replace the oppressive government with, some of whom were no doubt true believers and some of whom just saw it as a path to power, you have massive resistance from surrounding conservative/reactionary governments fearing the threat to the status quo, which leads to the Revolutionaries being further radicalized, and you have the failures of the Revolution projected onto the the entire Ideology as proof of its failure.
      It's interesting, then, looking at the histories of the respective Ideologies, where you see that Liberalism was, indeed, synonymous with the chaos and bloodshed of the French Revolution for many years in Europe, allowing the reactionary Absolute Monarchies to stay in power, but eventually, a somewhat more moderate version of Liberalism did triumph, sometimes even through peaceful means. I imagine we'll see Communism/Socialism take a similar path in the coming century, especially with many people once again growing justifiably dissatisfied with the status quo. History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes, as the saying goes.

      Became known to more and more people

      Became louder and louder

      Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
      Then one night some men of higher standing
      Set a trap, they're not to blame
      "Come to visit us", they kept demanding
      And he really came

    fun fact: basically, they did try to poison Rasputin. But the guy who was supposed to put the poison in ended up feeling bad and didn't poison it, so Rasputin was fine. Then they sh0t him and, just to be safe, dumped him in the river, but they ended up finding scratch marks underneath the ice, like he'd been trying to claw his way out.
    Basically, the dude was next to immortal, and for that reason I have a cat named after him that looks and acts like the female cat equivalent of a crazy homeless guy.

That said, I like that he opens this video with the same visuals for the archduke's assassination that he used in the WWI video. It feels like he's giving a high-five to an old buddy he hasn't seen in awhile.

He was in his open car when the first attempt failed of throwing a bomb. It got thrown on army officials and ministers on the cars following him. Then, in a seriously stupid move he turned around to meet the hospitalized officials. The same guy who threw the bomb met him on the way, and shot Franz. Then this one killing started a whole world war.
