Summary
Greetings, Comrades!
My voice’s not perfect already, but by jingo, we really need to get through World War One, so that we can finally do the revolution again in the next episode. And…well, as it turns out, the revolution was possible, because the Bolsheviks were the only guys against the war in the Russian empire…and so, they weren’t sent to die in the front lines against the German and Austrian machine guns, but instead were sent to exile in Siberia, which was really, really far from machine guns. Including Stalin, who, by now used to this, enjoyed the whole process. Again. And sent many letters. It’s a complex issue, but kind of fun, as there actually were people who could stop him then and there, but then they all died.
Enjoy!
