Tatort Geschichte - True Crime meets History
Der Rote Terror Teil 2: Die Herrschaft der Tscheka
Der blutige Bürgerkrieg hält die junge Sowjetunion weiterhin fest im Atem. Im Jahr 1921 sind bereits hunderttausende Soldaten und Zivilisten gefallen, ermordet oder an Hunger und Krankheiten gestorben. Die herrschenden Bolschewiki gewinnen jedoch allmählich die Oberhand und überziehen das ganze Land mit einer Terrorwelle. Die Geheimpolizei Tscheka mit ihrem Anführer Felix Dscherschinski (auch: Dserschinski) ist das Gesicht dieser neuen Phase der Gewalt. Diese trifft auch die Arbeiter in Petrograd, dem heutigen Sankt Petersburg. Sie begehren auf und revoltieren! Dabei erhalten sie unerwartete Unterstützung von den Matrosen bei Kronstadt. Einst waren sie die Prätorianer der Revolut...

Tatort Geschichte - True Crime meets History
Der Rote Terror Teil 1: Anschlag auf Lenin
Russland im August 1918: Das Zarenreich ist Geschichte und die alte Dynastie der Romanows ausgelöscht. Im Land regieren die Bolschewiki mit eiserner Hand. Ein blutiger Bürgerkrieg beginnt, der schließlich Millionen von Menschen das Leben kosten wird. In dieser angespannten und gewaltvollen Situation erschüttern zwei Attentate das riesige Reich. Die Tatorte liegen in Petrograd und Moskau und sie werden die russische Geschichte für immer verändern. Eines der Anschlagsziele ist Wladimir Iljitsch Lenin. Schwer getroffen sackt der Führer der Bolschewiki nach einer Rede zu Boden und sein Leben hängt fortan am seidenen Faden. Und während...

Lenin Nørdeafsnit
Selvom Lenin var magtsyg, så var han faktisk ikke interesseret i at få en personkult bygget op. Han insisterede på at bo ydmygt, arbejde hårdt og blive begravet ydmygt - uden for al for meget halløj. Det fik han bare ikke lov til. Signe fortæller om den skøre kult, der bliver bygget op om Lenin, især efter hans død. Blandt andet hvordan den ellers rimeligt hardcore ateist bliver gjort til en slags Jesus-figur, som en dag vil rejse sig fra de døde og føre an i den socialistiske verdensrevolution! Vært: Emil Rothstein-Ch...

Lenin 5:5
Lenin sidder i kørestol. Han er meget syg og kan knapt nok tale. På den ene side har han vundet: Han har magten og hans socialistiske visioner er ved at sprede sig til andre lande. Ligesom han ønskede sig det! På den anden side har han tabt: Systemet virker ikke. Det russiske folk dør enten i krig eller af sult. Visse steder er man endda begyndt at æde hinanden(!) - i ren desperation for at overleve. Lenin selv har været så desperat, at han har genindført kapitalisme og taget imod ulandsbistand af USA. Så nu vil han også b...

Lenin 4:5
Zaren og hele hans familie har siddet i husarrest siden revolutionen. Men nu er det på tide at dræbe dem, inden nogen får den idé at sætte dem på tronen igen. Lenin sidder nemlig ikke så sikkert i sadlen som han kunne ønske sig. Rusland er et land i frit fald. Der er borgerkrig og hungersnød. Og derfor er der også planer om at sætte Lenin fra bestillingen. Og måske er det egentlig bedst bare at skyde ham? ... Så imens Zarfamiliens blod flyder i en hemmelig kælder, er der en antirevolutionær kvinde, der lader sin r...

Lenin's Rise & Fall
Vladimir Lenin is one name that is known across the world. Rising to power during the Russian Revolution and Civil War, he was the first Communist dictator in history and the architect of the Red Terror - a deadly campaign of political oppression and execution carried out in the earliest years of Soviet Russia. But contrary to his self-avowed image as champion of the proletariat, Lenin was actually raised in an upper-middle-class family of Russian monarchists, with little to mark him out as a future revolutionary.In this episode James is joined by Victor Sebestyen, a...

Revolution 1989 is the first in-depth, authoritative account of a few months that changed the world. At the start of 1989, six European nations were Soviet vassal states.

Omar El Akkad’s new novel, “What Strange Paradise,” uses some fablelike techniques to comment on the migrant crisis caused by war in the Middle East. El Akkad explains that he thinks of the novel as a reinterpretation of the story of Peter Pan, told as the story of a contemporary child refugee.“There’s this thing Borges once said about how all literature is tricks, and no matter how clever your tricks are, they eventually get discovered,” El Akkad says. “My tricks are not particularly clever.

Lenin The Man, the Dictator, and the Master of Terror
Victor Sebestyen's riveting biography of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin—the first major biography in English in nearly two decades—is not only a political examination of one of the most important historical figures of the twentieth century but also a fascinating portrait of Lenin the man. Brought up in comfort and with a passion for hunting and fishing, chess, and the English classics, Lenin was radicalized after the execution of his brother in 1887. Sebestyen traces the story from Lenin's early years to his long exile in Europe and return to Petrograd in 1917 to lead the first Communist revolution in history...

The Hungarian Revolution of 1956
In 1956 the Hungarian nation revolted against their Soviet masters. The Soviets responded with massive force – columns of tanks that went on for miles, like an interminable death train. The rest of the world looked on dumbfounded. They did nothing. The Hungarians fought against overwhelming odds – in the teeth of air strafing, tanks, and artillery – they fought and they died. And the rest of the world drank tea and chased women as the youth of Hungary were massacred by their gallant Soviet allies – as the dictatorship of the proletariat murdered workers in the street. It’s a little told story. Most peopl...

Yet he still commands attention—even affection—in Russia.” That attention also made the historian’s exhaustive new look at the man overshadowing recent Russian history possible. For this episode of The World in Time, he discussed his biography of Lenin and the conclusions he reached about its protagonist: “Even when he was wrong about...
