Here lately I have been studying Russian history. In order to better understand world happenings and the impact history has had on our national and international dynamics, my focus has been on the Russian Revolution of 1917-18 and the overthrow of the last Tsar and European autocracy.
There are, quite literally, dozens of great documentaries on YouTube regarding not only the Revolution, but also the lives of the family and executions/murders of the last of the Romanov dynasty. I would heartily recommend these to anyone who, like me, is curious about Russian culture and politics.
