Amusing to watch these raffish Bolsheviks playing at government in an effort to establish a "Proleteriat Revolution," then use the same machinery the Tsar had been using to put down dissent.

This scene is silly and wildy innacurate: since Germany and Russia were at war , Lenin and his henchmen couldn't enter their country from german territory. They crossed the Baltic sea to neutral Sweden and from there through Finland to Russia.

@oliaiguambfigues76 They did ride in a sealed train through Germany.......

[newargot]

@oliaiguambfigues76 Um, actually, this is how Lenin returned to Russia. The Germans were hoping to destabilise Russia to the degree that they'd drop out of the war.

[oliaiguambfigues76]

Not bad if we compare it with what passes as acting these days, but still they sound like a bunch of british theatrical actors playing russians. It almost resembles an old Monty Python sketch.

[sondano]

@oliaiguambfigues76 but there is nothing wrong with british theatrical actors playing ....well anything. At least there was nothing wrong in the 70s

@sondano I always find it delicious when the English play Germans and Russians (and Romans for that matter). They play it with such panache. Now, when the English play Americans then....

[hill9868]

How ironic- the Bolsheviks on the train get to eat lunch hampers and bottles of cider whilst starving German civilians out on the field have to carve up a dead horse. Kaiser Wilhelm was against the whole scheme, saying Germany would live to regret it. How right he was.

I've been a Patrick Stewart fan all my life. What creeps me out is his resemblance to Lenin. Intense.

@TheGenrobs84

What creeps me out is that he's looked exactly the same for apparently 40 years!

[andmaketherain]

@brainboob I have noticed that this occurs with many individuals.

[andmaketherain]

@brainboob This happens to some humans...I have noticed this in my 40 years on this planet...
