Sputnik: Necessary to Work Toward Reconciliation When Recalling 1917 Revolution - Putin

The 1917 and subsequent revolutions, were not as simple as "general history" would present.

That's one of the key differences between Putin and many of the leaders in the West.
He get's complexity.
MIster Putin forget that because of that 1917 revolution million of people have bleed !
ReplyDeleteLMAO,
DeleteThe 1917 Revolution was a product of WWI, in which there were 38 million casualties, thank the Germans and AustroHungarians for that,
Lead to the Russian Civil War, which lasted until 1923, ( 1934 in some areas) with an other 4 million casualties,
Despite attempts by 12 nations to intervene to support "their side", 21 different "factions".
