Episode 7 - We're Not Russian This Revolution
10/22/18 • 26 min
This week we talk about the events leading up to and of the 1905 Russian Revolution, drawing on all our A Level knowledge (from not that long ago...) to discuss the causes and effects of that fateful year and what it would later set in motion.
There aren't any websites to reference today as we used all of our original course notes, however there are plenty of online resources out there for anybody interesting in reading further.
