“Generally good episodes, caveat being discussion of the Russian Revolution. Beevor’s view that Lenin’s answer to any question was terror is incredibly blinkered and inaccurate. In addition his focus on Bolshevik violence is quite laughable when you consider it was the middle of WW1 with millions dying, and then invasion from the entire western world post WW1 in what is still inaccurately called the Russian Civil War.
Add to that the promotion of the right wing views of Anne Applebaum. Really need some balance on this subject.”
