Part 6 – People Power
In October 1917, Vladimir Lenin’s Bolsheviks storm the Winter Palace and seize power, promising the Russian people a dictatorship of the proletariat and a new era of classless equality, freedom, peace, and prosperity.
The people who were there explain how Communism became an all-consuming, all-explaining ideology that appealed to their deepest hopes and dreams.
This documentary hears testimony of members of the Red Guard, party activists, students, and workers striving to build a modern industrial state. And through them, we hear how the Communist dream turned into a nightmare.
