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.
