- Russian Revolution in Color: Part 1E1
Russian Revolution in Color: Part 1"Peace, Land, Bread" was the slogan of the Russian Revolution, but the idealistic social experiment was doomed from the start. In its first three years under Lenin's Bolshevik rule, millions were killed, and within a generation, nearly a third of the world's population lived under of the shadow of Communism.
