Fat Rodzyanko Has Sent me Some Nonsense

Episode 18 of 26

Classic 麻豆社 series. Following the October Revolution, Russian enthusiasm for the war heartens the Allies and alarms the Germans.

This episode turns to Russia and its short-lived democracy, brought about by mass strikes and demonstrations. The tsar was blamed for all evils and forced to abdicate. The new enthusiasm in Russia heartened the Allies and alarmed the Germans, who had calculated that a Russian revolution would put an end to war on the Eastern Front.
