Red Dawn

This program shows the logic of the events that led from the failure of czarist leadership—from repression, economic unrest, massive war casualties, and seemingly uncaring behavior by the government—to the success of the Bolsheviks and the installation of Lenin. It covers the 300-year-old Romanov dynasty: ineffectual Nicholas, Alexandra with Rasputin; the events of March 1917; the abdication of the Czar and the new leadership: Kerensky, Trotsky, Lenin, Stalin; the rallying cries of Bolshevism; Lenin's seizure of power; the government of confidence, united leadership, and promises, and the reality of destitution, starvation, homelessness, and utter wretchedness. (20 minutes, b&w)
