Vladimir Lenin Part III: Lenin the Revolutionary

This is the third episode in a series regarding the life of Russian dictator Vladimir Lenin.  This episode picks up after the disaster split between the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks.  Opportunity abounds to spark the socialist revolution (Petrograd uprisings, coronation chaos, World War I, and Gaspon's last gasp) but each time Lenin fails to seize the opportunity.  The role that Tsar Nicholas and Rasputin played in the failure of the Romanov's is fleshed out and the episode ends with a provisional government taking over after the February Revolution.  Lenin's turn in charge would have to wait.   The material in this podcast serves as an introduction to the International Baccalaureates' Paper two topic 10  - Authoritarian States (20th century).
