- Summary:
- The extraordinary story of how Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin took control of Russia in just a few fateful months. This film reveals how this most unlikely of regime changes became a reality on 25 October 1917. It's a story of ambition and suspicion, rivalry and unified struggle, at a time when close friends could swiftly become deadly enemies. Dramatic re-enactments breathe new life into vicious clashes, seminal speeches and the storming of the Winter Palace. Experts including historian Simon Schama and writers Martin Amis and Robert Harris debate and discuss. This gripping documentary also asks: did the revolution create a political culture in which President Vladimir Putin could thrive?
