The fall of Russia was orchestrated faster than anybody could react to it. Very well orchestrated.
agree
there has always been a deep state
The Bolsheviks had the soldiers and sailors on their side. Also, very good planning, seizing the key transportation and communication points. Nobody supported Kerensky and he escaped early in the limo of Sheldon Whitehouse (grandfather of the senator).
By comparison, look at how long the fall of America is taking.
Yes, the revolt was supported by the Kaiser, and with German gold. People forget this. thenPres. Wilson was lukewarm (typical demonrat) in supporting the effort to land at Archangel with British to capture Lenin. The US sent 5000 troops to join much larger British and multinational forces and counter-revolutionaries White Russians (who were Socialists already).
The area resisted Bolshevik rule from 1918 to 1920 and was a stronghold of the anti-Bolshevik White Army. The White Army was supported by this Allied invasion force in which British, French, Italian, and American troops helped a nascent coup against Lenin run by British intel forces and their agent Sidney Reilly. Bolsheviks attacked the Moscow Brit Embassy and killed Royal Navy Captain Romey (he delivered 100s of thousands of English pound notes to Reilly and his British handler). Wilson was a terrible President, and the labor conditions in the US definitely worked for the Bolshies. Just as today.
The venture later labeled the North Russia Intervention, failed not the least for the mutinies of White Russian units who murdered their Brit officers and handed over units to the Bolsheviks. The Don Cossacks were the best organized and used to fighting and they held on in the Ukraine.
Such a tragedy created by Bolsheviks and thugs.
