Description

Hey everyone! For Episode 16, I am joined by Dr. Bruce DeHart, recently retired after a great career at UNC-Pembroke. In this episode we're talking about the October Revolution-the revolution that brought about the creation of the Soviet Union. We'll talk about a larger than life cast of characters, the groups that fought for power and influence during the revolution, and the July Days. We'll also get into the horrible effects the First World War had on Russia, how the regular people fit into the new order, and a ton of other things. Dr. DeHart is a brilliant historian, and I hope you all enjoy the episode as much as I did recording it! YDKH's theme music is by the musician Smith the Mister called "Beach Buggy."
