@Алексей Савицкий You're pretty funny. That's a funny joke.

@Алексей Савицкий When Russia pays for fucking eastern europe for half a century. Then maybe.

@Сладенький Czech and Slovak minorities living in Russia volunteered to fight alongside Russians against Central Powers in exchange for the support of Czechoslovak independence. They were enlisted in the Russian army as regular soldiers and the brigade was extended up to 80 000 men strong corps (all Czechs and Slovaks). So yes, they were to be paid, such as any other Russian soldiers. As the revolution began, Czechoslovak legions were on the side of the Tsar, since he was the one guaranteeing their independence. The bolsheviks were against that and refused the Czechoslovak troops to move home, planning them to be sent in the work camps. Thus Czechoslovaks moved through the entirety of Russia, aiding whites and repelling anyone who refused to let them pass. Moreover, the Soviet Union caused much larger economic damage to both nations, with the mined natural resources, while under Soviet control. There is nothing to be paid and if someone should, it is Russia, yet nobody blames them now.

@Сладенький I wouldn't explained this better then @Ranko Vašek

They actually betrayed White General Kolchak and had him killed by the Bolsheviks.

The election for the constituent assembly was incredibly flawed. The largest party in Russia was the peasant based Socialist Revolutionary party which had split into a pro-Bolshevik left faction and an anti-Bolshevik right faction. This split did not become official until after the electoral lists were already sent out so there was only one SR option on the ballot. As the right SRs comprised the leadership of the unified party the lists were stuffed with right SRs. This had the effect of making the entire election incredibly unrepresentative because a majority of those who voted for the SRs supported the left SRs. Scholars agree that if there was an option for both SR parties on the ballot the Bolsheviks and left SRs would have won enough seats to form a coalition government, the same as the Soviet government at this period. By the way, the only reason the Soviet government became a one party system was because the left SRs betrayed the Bolsheviks and rebelled against them because they did not support ending the war.

Sam1370 lol every communist government ever

Lenin implemented some really progressive and good reforms! It's just a shame that he refused to accept the Democratic decisions of the people though. The Soviet Union would've been a very different place if he did. What's even more of a shame is the fact that Stalin reversed many of the progressive and good reforms that Lenin had put in place. Take for example Homosexuality. It was De-Criminalized under Lenin and then Re-Criminalized under Stalin.

It is a mess if you try to remember every little detail and date. If you just learn the gist of it then you are perfectly alright.

Pikkabuu yeah that’s why I enjoy history so much, it’s pretty much just a massive, overarching, and convoluted story

History has always been difficult, which what makes it ammusing and fun (for us student historians and real historians of course).

the thing with history is you have to memorize so much shit. i just can't do it the way schools teach it, like i don't care about every random empire from 4000 years ago. that being said, world war 1 and onwards is very interesting and i do enjoy learning about it on my own time. it's much better when you're not having to cram a million different details for an exam, and you can just learn as you wish. that's where you figure out what parts of history are interesting to you and what parts you really care to memorize.

I do know thats a joke but it makes kinda sense that the reds stayed strong in the west. With cities and industry in that region a huge part of the population was workers who didn't own means of production and had nothing to loose if the reds sub stain power. In the rest of russia however the society was mainly agrarian and the people owned small amounts of means of production with their farms. At least what i am thinking, ain't a historian lol

There’s an issue of correlation and causation here; whenever interventionalim occurred, it tended to end up weakening the USSR. Also, it turned out that just because a country was Communist didn’t mean it’d support them at all; post Khrushchev, China never supported or aligned themselves with Russia again, and felt no obligation to prevent the collapse of the USSR in its clear early stages, e.g. sought no interventionalism in the 30 year stagnation of Brezhnev, which paved the way for the collapse

Alex Dzerzhinsky That’s because you fail to realize that Communism isn’t 1 single ideology lol

... I did, and that’s exactly why permanent revolution doesn’t work? You’re relying on everyone else agreeing with the exact same type of political ideology as you, lest the entire point of Trotskyism (strengthening the praxis of your own brand of communism through the rest of the world adopting it) be weakened

And with Trotsky it would’ve died in 1924

Alex Dzerzhinsky I mean technically the Chinese Government lended support to the short lived emergency government led by the Gennady Yanayev, but it failed miserably because shock, horror, terror of all terror’s, people didn’t want a return to harsh Soviet Authoritarianism

Makes you wonder just how powerful the USSR would have been if people didn't kill each other. The US became the leading superpower exactly because of the two world wars, amongst the major powers it gained the most and lost the least.

@@jipeh Well, the USSR likely wouldn't have existed without WWI (Lenin's "bread, peace, land" promise), and it might not have gained its status as a world power if it weren't for the second world war (which was the nail in the coffin for the European empires and effectively left USA and USSR as the dominant powers). The loss of Germany and Austria Hungary also left a vacuum in eastern Europe which the USSR filled; likewise, the decline of western Europe allowed the US to dominate affairs west of the Iron Curtain. Still, without the world wars, Tsarist Russia and the US would likely become leading powers, albeit without the overwhelming dominance created by the collapse of the old European empires. Especially since Russia would not have suffered the catastrophic loss of population and industry to the war, let alone the turmoil of civil war.

@@bluesaberproductions8991 No, the Tsardom would have probably collapsed in WW2 if not for being overrun. We see its economic groqth, the biggest factor in war to be projected by 1950.

@@muhibhussain8274 Stalin made huge blunders and was totally unprepared for the German invasion. He nearly had a mental breakdown when it came. Whereas under the tsars, Russia was constantly prepared for war, and they had an alliance with France. Whereas the USSR had no allies, only temporary co-belligerents. Remember, Russia was one of the first countries to begin developing submarines. Their military was fairly advanced under the tsars. And I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have had armies of white Russian exiles willingly joining the Axis to "liberate" the homeland without a Stalin in power (although assuming Poland was still under Russian rule, they and other ethnic groups could pose a problem).
