S03E04 The Bloodbath Begins

Fresh from their revolutionary triumph, the Bolsheviks began establishing the foundation for what would evolve into one of history's most repressive regimes. To build this new order, they first had to eliminate any opposition. Bill Whittle guides us through the violent beginnings of the Soviet Union, revealing how the Bolsheviks often acted without sound judgment or skill, relying instead on brute force and fortunate circumstances to achieve their goals.
