Summary
No episode of history illustrates the interplay between violence and radical idealism more clearly than the overthrow of Russia's czar and aristocracy. Using vivid reenactments and colorized archival footage, this program depicts the seizure of power by a political party which, although initially representing a small fraction of the Russian nation, rapidly engulfed it. Viewers learn about the formation of the Red Army and the Cheka, or secret police; the Red Terror Decrees; and Lenin's methods for taking control of the economy. Discussions of the Bolshevik vision of exporting socialism across Europe shed further light on a brand of totalitarianism presaging Hitler's plans for world domination.
