The Russian Revolution of 1917
Russia 1917: The First World War has bled the country dry, hunger revolts break out. The February Revolution of the liberal forces overthrows the tsar’s backward regime. And with the October Revolution, another upheaval is soon to follow. Now the Marxist Bolsheviks led by Lenin assume control. They expropriate the old noble elite and distribute the land to the peasants. But the social awakening drowns in civil war. The communists relentlessly defend their power, suppressing opposition through terror. They want to re-educate the population into "new people" by force and transform the agrarian country into an industrial state. A new era of sufferings begins. | In this film version, German interviews and historical or literary quotes remain untranslated.
