Abdication of the Tsar

2/28/2015

0 Comments

 
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.
