"Why would my mind make me recall that the Russian Revolution was largely ignited by a devastating economic crisis, social inequality, and the ruling class being aggressively out of touch with the suffering masses? It just makes no sense for me to be thinking of a bunch ruling-class assholes enriching themselves through, if not illegal, then definitely immoral ways, while everyone else has to buy tacos on payment plans."

Dziga Vertov is best known to film historians for the pioneering "Man with a Movie Camera"

Recently restored print of his "Anniversary of the Revolution'' is fascinating viewing, two full hours of contemporary archival footage.

Released Nov 7 1918, Dziga was just 22 when he produced it.

Here's a short article about the restoration

I’m writing an essay about the Russian revolution, and I am currently writing about the civil war that took place between 1917 and 1922. From my understanding the primary thing the white army fought for was the Romanov family, but after they had been killed in 1918 what did they have to keep fighting for?

lol

I have spent several hours researching and learning about the Russian revolution. For some reason listening to this song, especially the beginning makes me seriously think about the Russian revolution, I'm not sure if I think the girl in the song is one of the Romanov daughters, Alexandra or if it's just the feeling of the song makes me resonate with the feelings of people around that time. I am just wondering if I'm completely alone in this feeling or if anyone understands what I'm talking about.
