Russian Revolution

The 1917 communist revolution in Russia, which led to the establishment of the Soviet Union. It involved:

*The Czar being all mean and rich and everything while the peasants starved
*Lenin spawning angry mobs out of thin air to follow his orders, which apparently consisted mainly of storming palaces and tearing down monuments
*Trotsky doing something which caused him to be idealized by leftist intellectuals for reasons only they understand
*Anastasia being a beautiful princess with expensive clothing and therefore awesome according to preteen girls (and when have they ever been wrong?)
*Rasputin being a creepy dude and therefore probably a sorcerer (you can't argue with logic)

The Russian Revolution was a crazy, crazy time.
