This is part one of Caitlin's Mother Russia series, focusing on how conditions in Russia changed prior to and during 1917, resulting in the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II.
Notes:
Russian Calendar – please note that at this period of time, Russia used the Julian calendar as opposed to the Gregorian calendar - which we use – as this was introduced there in 1918.
Due to this, dates for Russian events prior to 1918 can be confusing; this podcast only mentions dates as they were at the time in Russia under the Julian calendar, therefore the February revolution is stated to occur between February 23-27th, rather than 8-12th of March.
