The national catastrophe triggered by the revolutionary events of February 1917 is a complex and still painful topic – but a necessary one. This discussion will examine which nodes in the Russian imperial structure proved to be the weakest links.
How did the imperial center and the Russian periphery coexist and interact? What led to the problems in Finland? What did the course and results of the Russo-Japanese War reveal? How did the Finns "thank" Russia for granting them independence?
This and much more is covered in Vladimir Medinsky's new lecture from the "Gatherers of the Russian Land" series.
