Episode 33: ‘The Greatest of All Revolutions’. November 1918 and the Fall of the Kaiserreich
C
2:14Christopher DillonHOST
Mass protest demonstrations that day had climaxed at the installation of Germany's first ever socialist government.
C
2:22Christopher DillonHOST
Kaiser Wilhelm II, with the grisly fate of his cousin, Tsar Nicholas II on his mind, had fled in panic to the Netherlands.
C
2:31Christopher DillonHOST
But I suspect that many Reichs- and Republics listeners will find the Targa Black's verdict somewhat eccentric.
C
2:37Christopher DillonHOST

47:24Katja HoyerHOST
Yeah, I think what played a role with this as well is that there was, of course, the Russian Revolution, and we've already said that people look to these as examples of what happens, and also the French Revolution and various other examples, where there were a lot of dead members of the elites at the end of it.
K
47:43Katja HoyerHOST
And especially as we mentioned that Tsar Nicholas isn't anyone.
K
47:47Katja HoyerHOST
He's the Kaiser's cousin.
K
47:49Katja HoyerHOST
So this is something where I think it would have been very much on the Kaiser's mind that if he doesn't go now, this is what may end up happening to him and to his children and to his family.

And I also had at some point obsession with the Romanov family, especially with the last Tsar, Nicholas II and his family who got executed by the Bolsheviks.
V
9:28Violetta PleshakovaGUEST
Anyway, I got obsessed with it and everyone was making fun of me.
V
9:31Violetta PleshakovaGUEST
Why she's so obsessed? Well, it was a special interest.

Because at the very end of World War I, the Bolsheviks had overthrown Tsar Nicholas II in Russia and withdrew them from the war.

And

so the people that were the private investors, these robber baron investors, were freaking out over the fact that there was this socialist... country now in the world that was somehow going to challenge them.

If Nicholas II had survived, there would have had to have been a mass expulsion or nationalization, which kind of makes more sense, or else they would have simply taken over the economy entirely, you know, a handful of them.

1:46Pete QuiñonesHOST
On twelfth and thirteenth October, before all other secondary schools, the pupils of two business schools, that of the Emperor Nicholas I and that of Fig, ceased to attend classes, being the most sensitive to revolutionary propaganda.
P
2:01Pete QuiñonesHOST
On the fourteenth, it was decided to halt all the work in all the secondary schools, and business schools and students went to all the high schools of the city to force the pupils to go on course strikes.
P
2:13Pete QuiñonesHOST
The rumor went around that in front of the Bera- Berezina High School, three students and three high school students had been wounded with swords by police officers.

Bolsheviks are in October.
M
19:15Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
But the one thing that the Kerensky government did very well, and I've talked about this, I'm going to repeat it again, this is about the third time, that they created the extraordinary commission to look into the government of Nicholas II, the pogroms, Rasputin, all of these issues.
M

And they could find no fault.

And there's no way they could have known what would have come from this, the provisional government.

If Nicholas II had survived, there would have had to have been a, a mass expulsion or p- or, or nationalization, which kind of makes, makes more sense, or else they would have simply taken over, um, uh, the economy entirely, you know, a, a handful of them.

"Due to his incessant energy, Nicholas I, throughout his reign, did not only face failures in his efforts to transform Jewish life in its different aspects.
P
1:08Pete QuiñonesHOST
This was the case with Jewish agriculture.
P
1:11Pete QuiñonesHOST
The regulations on obligations of recruitment and military service of the Jews, dated 1827, stipulated that Jewish farmers transferred on private plots were released, as well as their children, from the obligation to provide recruits for a period of 50 years, exemption incurring from the moment they actually began to engage in agricultural work.
P
1:35Pete QuiñonesHOST
As soon as this regulation was made public, more Jews returned to the colonies than those who had absented, absented themselves on their own initiative that had been signaled absent."
M
1:48Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
I, uh, I was reading the Jewish Encyclopedia just before we came on, on some of these issues, and it's at least on, on...
M
2:01Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
I mean, normally, the encyclopedia and certain things is vaguely reasonable, but not when it comes to Russia, and certainly not when it comes to Nicholas I.
M
2:14Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
Even Wikipedia, in fact, if you go to antisemitism in the Russian Empire, it's, they come out and say that given everything we've, we've said, that Nicholas I wanted to destroy Jewish life, that he engaged in forcible conversion of Jews, and that even when, you know, they were, he, th-they make it seem like all Jews or young men were, Jewish young men were drafted and used as cannon fodder.
