    FUN FACT: "One of those who cooked for Rasputin during the Great War was a chef at Petrograd's luxurious Astoria Hotel who went on, after the Revolution, to cook for Lenin and Stalin. He was Spiridon Putin, grandfather of President Vladimir Putin." Simon Montefiore, "The Romanovs", Vintage Books, 2016, footnote, page 600.

    Let me say only one thing here. The video says that it was likely that Lenin did not know of his mother's Jewish heritage. But in a recent Dutch podcast I heard a professor of history say that Lenin was proud of his part-Jewish heritage, because he admired some intellectual Jews and had a high esteem of them. So my point is: so many things are said on the internet without any reliable source and many of those 'facts' or strong assumptions are not true at all.

      Exactly, and such danger is why Lenin launched the Bolshevik governmental takeover earlier than the time he expected for a successful capitalist stage, per Marx. Therefore, he skipped that stage and went straight to socialism. Lenin had feared that if the ill-equipped Russian Army would not be a defensive match against the Central Powers (Germany, Austria, Hungary) and all Russian lands would belong to the Central Powers.

    43:54 "a new Ukrainian state" requires the extreme clarification that it was only the Lwow/Gallicia/Volynhia region that was ruled by the self declared state in Lwow. When Germany collapsed it became a very venal anti-Jewish anti-Russian proto Nazi state that had only 13% or so literacy. There were competing and even more vicious racist bandit states in Kiev (Petlura) and Zaporozyhe (the so called anarchists who were basically rapists and marauders), plus Tsarists still in Rostov whose first move was to attack northwest to reconnect with Europe.
    The Lwow proto-Nazis were defeated by Poland. The others by the Tsarists. Then the Red Ukraine forces from Kharkov and the side-switching bandits - as at that time "Ukraine" did not include any Black Sea coast -took over from Tsarists whose last gasp was attacking Petrograd from Estonia in 1922.

      A few notable propaganda type errors here and there, however. One being the characterisation of the October Manifesto reforms as a stage managed charade by the emperor's court. Could not be further from the truth; Russian parliamentarianism, from 1905-1918, was actually further ahead in some aspects than in most Western European countries, during the same period. The economy also grew exponentially since the reforms were officially inaugurated. Most if not all of Lenin's grievances, were entirely ideologically based. Historical enemies of Russia simply used his many rantings as material for propaganda purposes, to discredit Russia.

    What I would like to emphasize is that Lenin knew the history of the French Revolution very well and was a great admirer of it. Robespierre was his teacher and Lenin knew what mistake Robespierre made, so he avoided this mistake. Lenin understood that the Bolsheviks were the new Jacobins, and he was the most important Jacobin.
    The proletariat was a new class, the French Revolution was the bourgeoisie... if compared with modern times, today such a class is workers in the IT sector and digital technologies.
    Napoleon was the Tamer of the French Revolution, and Stalin became the Tamer of the Russian Revolution.
    If we continue my logic: In Russia in 1991 there was a bourgeois counter-revolution, then Putin is the Tamer of the bourgeois counter-revolution of 1991. Napoleon carried the ideas of the French Revolution (private property, Code civil), Stalin carried the ideas of building communism in a single country and spreading the influence of communism throughout the world, Putin carried the ideas of traditional culture against multiculturalism and building a multipolar world, against the hegemony of one country, the USA.
