James HughesHOST
My-- As a social Democrat, I've always found contemplating what happened to the Soviet Union or Russia too depressing to read those kinds of things.

Paul KengorGUEST
But if you read some of his books, right, The Demons, The Possessed, The Devils, uh, I, I mean, it's, it, it, it's just uncanny what, what he saw coming in his country.
Paul KengorGUEST
You know, some of, some of the revolutionaries in his books are kind of dead ringers for Lenin and Trotsky and, you know, like some of the characters that you see in, you know, Doctor Zhivago, [chuckles] right? In the, in the early scenes of the, of the, of the movie like that.
Paul KengorGUEST
But, um, yeah, yeah, he understood it, and then somebody...

Like, like I said, he died about 30 years before the Bolsheviks took o- took over.

Tim CrookGUEST
Undoubtedly, the story up until now is remarkable, powerful.
Tim CrookGUEST
It's Doctor Zhivago.
Tim CrookGUEST
[laughs] It's Charles Dickens.
Tim CrookGUEST
It's, uh, Jane Austen.
William DalrympleHOST
Giles, just sketch for us the start of the Civil War.
William DalrympleHOST
I- I'm so full of it at the moment, having just watched Doctor Zhivago for the fifteenth [laughs] time.

And so I have a very clear sort of fictional version of it in my head.
William DalrympleHOST
Give us the facts.

It's the thing that you used to do for 20p in school and you can win a chomp if you finished it.
KathyAUDIENCE
Hi, Kathy.
KathyAUDIENCE
I wonder if you or many of your listeners have ever watched the movie Dr. Zhivago.
KathyAUDIENCE
I've watched that movie numerous times, but I am shocked to hear how so many people have never watched that movie, especially younger people.
KathyAUDIENCE
And if you watch Dr. Zhivago, you see exactly what happens with communism, with the Bolshevik takeover of Russia.
KathyAUDIENCE
And you see how when he went to his father-in-law's house, which was a private, beautiful home.
KathyAUDIENCE
It probably had 250 to 300 people.
8 MINS LATER
Jeff KuhnerHOST
And they go, no, we're going to take it all the way.
Jeff KuhnerHOST
And I'm with you all.
CrowHOST
Uh, I think most people watching this, we don't get a lot of Russian history in this country.
CrowHOST
Probably most people, the really only idea they have is probably the movie Doctor Zhivago, and I think I've heard you say that that is beyond glossed over.
Fortune de Saint GermainGUEST
Well, that's too late in the game, my friends.
Fortune de Saint GermainGUEST
And, and just to let you know how crazy the communists were, Boris Pasternak, uh, survived the revolution.
Fortune de Saint GermainGUEST
He was a writer in communist Russia, but his novel, Doctor Zhivago, could not be published in Russia because, uh, he had a love for a woman that was greater than his love for the state.
Fortune de Saint GermainGUEST
So even though the doctor was kidnapped into the Red Army and forced to be a doctor in, in the army, uh, uh, the Bolshevik Army against his will, he deserted the army and went looking for his mistress, his lover.
Fortune de Saint GermainGUEST
And that was a no-no in communism because he was leaving the state for a woman, and the communists considered personal life in Russia dead.
Fortune de Saint GermainGUEST
So we will never know the actual numbers.
